Set Alarm (G Dataflow)

Connection to the server.

Variety of data about the new alarm instance, such as the application or user who created it and keywords and properties associated with it.

This node ignores this input when updating an existing alarm instance

Unique identifier for a process or condition tracked by an alarm. The Build Alarm ID node concatenates the names of the system and top-level VI where the rule triggered with the alarm name into a path.

For example, an alarm id may look like <system>.<namespace>.<alarm name>.

State change and severity level that meet a specific condition to create or update an alarm instance.

Wire Build Alarm Set Transition to this input.

Title you want to give the alarm instance.

This node ignores this input when updating an existing alarm instance.

Resource associated with the alarm. For example, if an application sets an alarm because a wireless network went down, the channel could be the name of the network and the resource type classifies the alarm as the network.

This node ignores this input when it updates an existing alarm instance.

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error	error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally. If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.	If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

Type of resource associated with the alarm. For example, if an application sets an alarm because a wireless network went down, the channel may be the name of the network where the alarm triggered and the resource type may classify the alarm as the network.

This node ignores this input when it updates an existing alarm instance.

Alarm instance created or updated.

Boolean that determines whether an alarm instance with the provided set transition already exists. If an alarm instance already exists or the current severity level already occurred, it returns False and alarm returns default data.
