## Upcoming features

At present, swarming is supported for [basic elements](xref:SwarmingElements). For [bookings](xref:SwarmingBookings), swarming is supported if the *BookingSwarming* [soft-launch option](xref:SoftLaunchOptions) is enabled.
At present, swarming is mainly supported for [basic elements](xref:SwarmingElements).

- For DVEs and virtual function child and parent elements, swarming is supported from DataMiner 10.5.11/10.6.0 onwards.<!-- RN 43793 --> Note that child elements cannot be swarmed directly; they follow the parent element.
- For [bookings](xref:SwarmingBookings), swarming is supported if the *BookingSwarming* [soft-launch option](xref:SoftLaunchOptions) is enabled.

In addition, we are working on adding the following functionality soon:

- Support for data offloads in Swarming-enabled systems.
- Support for swarming services.
- Support for swarming of special elements: SLA elements, enhanced services, spectrum elements, redundancy group elements, DVE and virtual function child and parent elements, EPM elements, and elements with element connections.
- Support for swarming of special elements: SLA elements, enhanced services, spectrum elements, redundancy group elements, EPM elements, and elements with element connections.
- Support for automatic switchover of elements in case issues are detected.

# Swarming elements

With DataMiner Swarming, you can swarm basic elements from one DataMiner Agent to another within a cluster. You can do so [in DataMiner Cube](#swarming-elements-in-dataminer-cube) or [via an Automation script](#swarming-elements-via-automation).
With DataMiner Swarming, you can swarm elements from one DataMiner Agent to another within a cluster. You can do so [in DataMiner Cube](#swarming-elements-in-dataminer-cube) or [via an Automation script](#swarming-elements-via-automation).

When you are swarming an element so it gets hosted on a different DataMiner Agent, a temporary transition occurs. The element will be stopped and then started again on a new host. While this happens, a message will be displayed to inform users that the element is currently swarming. The ability to open element cards or change the element configuration for the involved element will be temporarily suspended. Once the element migration is complete, it will become accessible again.

At present, Swarming is only possible with **regular elements**. Refer to [Upcoming features](xref:Swarming#upcoming-features) for information on which other types of elements will be supported in the future.
At present, Swarming is not yet supported for certain specific types of elements. Refer to [Upcoming features](xref:Swarming#upcoming-features) for information on which types of elements are supported already and which will supported in the future.

Because of the way swarming functions, it is not possible to swarm smart-serial elements in server mode, elements polling localhost, and elements receiving SNMP traps in a DMS with trap distribution disabled on at least one DMA.

> [!NOTE]
> To be able to trigger swarming for an element, you need the [Swarming](xref:DataMiner_user_permissions#modules--swarming) user permission as well as config rights on the element. Users that have the [Import DELT](xref:DataMiner_user_permissions#general--elements--import-delt) and [Export DELT](xref:DataMiner_user_permissions#general--elements--import-delt) user permissions will automatically also get the *Swarming* user permission when DataMiner is upgraded from a version that does not support Swarming to a version that does support it.
