Are graphical elements of MAD events visible in Playback?

I’m currently analyzing a product that is sending events via the (legacy) Milestone Analytics Definition (MAD) to a Milestone XProtect Corporate 2017 R2.

The MAD contains graphical elements that are displayed in the “Alarm Manager” view of the Smart Client.

The graphical elements are not displayed in the “Playback” view of the Smart Client.

Should such graphical elements be displayed in playback also (so there is some configuration issue on our system) or are these graphical elements only displayed in alarm manager view?

Best regards,

Jürgen Werner

The MAD events look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<AnalyticsEvent xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:milestone-systems">
  <EventHeader>
    <ID>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</ID>
    <Timestamp>2017-12-12T08:39:40.247</Timestamp>
    <Type>...</Type>
    <Message>...</Message>
    <CustomTag>...</CustomTag>
    <Source><Name>...</Name></Source>
  </EventHeader>
  <Description>...</Description>
  <StartTime>2017-12-12T08:39:37.247</StartTime>
  <EndTime>2017-12-12T08:39:43.247</EndTime>
  <ObjectList>
    <Object>...</Object>
    ...
  </ObjectList>
  <Vendor>
    ...
  </Vendor>
</AnalyticsEvent>

The analytics overlay will only be displayed in the “Alarm Preview” view item, such as can be found by default on the Alarm Manager tab.

The view item can also be added to a custom view (Live/Playback) but requires an “Alarm List” view item in the same view. In this case, the Alarm Preview will function the same as in the Alarm Manager.

Note that the Alarm List can be switched to display events instead of alarms.

Thank you very much for the information!
