If an Event occures for device_A a corresponding Alert-ID x is generated. All Events for device_A are grouped together under this Alert-ID x.
Is there a corresponding time window in which all incomming Events for device_A will be grouped under this Alert-ID x or - if generated once this Alert-ID x is bound to device_A for eternity? (or just until the next restart of dmgtd?)
Does anybody know the sense behind these not rememberable Alert-IDs which are also useless for Notification Services?
The only thing I found was this:
========
Terminology has changed since DFM 1.2.x as follows:
â¢Symptom is replaced by event. Events are rolled up into alerts.
â¢Compound is not used and there is no replacement. A compound differs from an alert; there could be multiple compounds on a single device, whereas an alert is a roll-up of all events for a device.
