How To add system alarm to Dpgroup in a split system?

[baderd]

Hi,

I am trying to add internal DPE's to a dpGroup on System 1 from System 2 (Split System/ Load Balance) but when I add the DPE like (_Conn_event_0_1_to_event_0_2) it show the DPE as it is added from System 1.

any idea's how i can add internal data points from different systems to one dpgroup?

In a datapoint group only datapoints for the local system can be used.
There is no possibility to use datapoints of several systems in one group.

At which function do you want to use the information defined in the datapoint group?
Do you want to make a query using this group?

Thanks for your prompt reply,

I want to get an alarm on system 1 if system 2 or the redundant partner of system 2 connection is lost.

Hi,

For that you can use sum alerts I guess...

You can also look into dist datapoints to check if systems are connected and if not trigger alarm.

In a summary alert you can also use only datapoint elements for the own system.
If you want to know if the connection to a distributed system is lost you can have a look at the dp element _DistManager(_2).State.SystemNums. At this dp element the currently connected systems are listed.
As the dp element is a dyn_array you cannot configure an _alert_hdl config at this dp element.

In the system overview panel you can configure that the connections to distributed systems shall be taken into account for the error state calculation.
At this configuration panel you can also configure an alarm for the connections.
