Alert Manager App

[Erwin van der Zwart]

I understand your pain points but the Alert Manager is never developed for tracking alerts and events, to be honest we would never use this controller for tasks like event/alarm management, in those cases we would select EcoStruxure Building Operation that has al these features build-in by default and is even compliant with 21 CFR/FDA Part 11 so you can backtrack every event/alert acknowledgment made by any user that is allowed to execute a certain task.

You could do it with this controller but it requires quite some development time to build an app on that level and I don’t have the ambition to rebuild something we already have in the form of another platform.

You can copy storage values via get/set like this:

Code:

val = storage.get('source_key')
storage.set('destination_key', val)

To copy client settings to another panel you need to update some additional fields in the storage table, below is a full functional script to set multple clients at once with the settings from a source client that is holding the correct settings.

Code:

-- Set IP address of the source client you want to copy the settings from
source_client_ip = '192.168.10.100'

-- Set destination IP addresses of the clients that needs to get the settings from the source client
new_client_ip_table = {
  '192.168.10.101',
  '192.168.10.102',
  '192.168.10.103',
  '192.168.10.104',
  '192.168.10.105'
}

-- Do not change anything under this line
-- **************************************************************************************************

--source_client_settings = storage.get("Alert_App_" .. source_client_ip) -- Old versions
source_client_settings = storage.get("app:alerts:" .. source_client_ip) -- Latest version 1.0.8

-- Update IP addres in the settings table to the new client IP settings and store it into the storage
if type(source_client_settings) == 'table' then
  for _, ip in pairs(new_client_ip_table ) do
    source_client_settings.scripts[1].clientip = ip
    source_client_settings.scripts[2].clientip = ip
    source_client_settings.defaults.clientip = ip
    source_client_settings.settings.clientip = ip
    storage.set("Alert_App_" .. ip, source_client_settings)
   end
else
   log('Could not find alert manager settings from client ' .. source_client_ip .. ' in the storage')
end

script.disable(_SCRIPTNAME)
