DCE API and alarm configurations

[Hannu1]

Hello,

I have a question regarding to Data Center Expert, power measurements and alarm configuration.

I'm looking for solution which can list all sensors which are measuring consumption and not having any alarm notification policy, or alarms are disabled. Sensor consumption data can be read using API. Is it possible get the data of alarm configuration by using API. If I can get alarm configuration per sensor then I know how to list sensors which are missing alarm monitoring. 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Hannu1,

It is not currently possible to poll alarm configuration data using the Rest API.  Via the DCE Rest API you can poll: alarms, devices, device groups, sensor data, and event log history.  Configuration data is not able to be polled currently using the Rest API or Soap API.

Regards,

Cory

Hi Cory,

Thanks for the answer. We then have to think another way to find the sensors which are not connected to alarm polling. Do you have any suggestions on how to easily find these sensors in the system, what is the best way to find a single sensor that is not connected to alarm monitoring (threshold is missing).

Thanks

Hi @Hannu1,

Since there is no current way to poll this information from the DCE appliance, you would need to look through the desktop client to determine what thresholds, alarm actions, and notification policies are setup/assigned for devices and sensors.
