Read all alarm metrics data in one binding

Hi all,

I am trying out 8.3 and I’m wondering whether there is a way to read all properties of an Alarm Metrics instance or not.

Obvisouly, with some tests on my end this does not seem doable as it appears you have to specify which property you want to subscribe to in order to get actual data

Sadly, for my use case I need to get two properties of the Alarm Metrics (highestActivePriority and highestUnackedPriority) , is there no way other than creating 2 bindings on every view where I want to show a border related to Alarm metrics?

For instance, if you specify the path of an instance, you can get the value of all the variables as a dictionary. This does not seem to behave the same for Alarm Metrics.

Hi @Samuel_Sueur,
You could use expression instead with tag()

This is generally a bad idea anyway, so not recommended. Creating bindings to more tags than you are using is just reducing your scalability and putting unnecessary load on the gateway. It’s the same issue with binding to UDT instances
