Perspective Alarm Status Table - Dataset Filter

[jykl5]

My scenario is I have 1000 tags that have alarms, and I want to filter out the alarm status table to show only a subset.

By user they are interested in a subset of those tags (like 200 out of the 1000). There's no naming convention to the tags that I can use as a wild card. But using a database query I can create a dataset of the respective subset.

Is there a way to filter the Alarm Status Table using a dataset?

You could use the filterAlarm extension function on the alarm status table scripts.

Each alarm will run that script, if you're using a dataset, you could loop through that dataset. If the tags is found in the dataset return True or if not False.

Perspective alarm filtering - how to prefilter on display path and multiple conditions

Hi I need to filter alarms on 2 conditions: 1 - first condition is "AlarmName" which is at the end part of the display path string eg. "TagFolder/TagName/AlarmName" - would using filterAlarm extension function be the right way? i was struggling with the syntax to get it right even in the simplest form. def filterAlarm(self, alarmEvent): AlarmDisplayPath = str(alarmEvent.get('displayPath')) return "TagFolder/TagName/AlarmName" == AlarmDisplayPath what about adding wildcards - is it allowe…

I was able to figure it out using the filter / condition property. It takes comma separated values.

I had worried a long string would have performance issues, but no issues filtering out a subset of a few hundred.

Thanks for the inputs.
