UDT already knows the status of a monitored port. Would it be possible for UDT to send notification at change of port status?
(Submitted as support case# 00101407.)
It looks like you should be able to create an alert on UDT port change out-of-the-box. What have you tried?
We have various types of devices hanging off of 48 port cisco 2960 switches. We already use NPM for monitoring the switches and interfaces. But we don't accurately know what is actually attached to them without logging into each switch. I would like to use UDT in order to see the mac addresses of the devices attached to those ports. We know when the port is down, but we do not know what type of device is connected to it. If we can trigger the alert to consider the devices beginning mac address when a port is down, then alerts could be sent to the appropriate support groups which manages those devices. For instance all AP alerts would go to support group A. All camera alerts would go to support group B, etc.
The leading characters of the MAC address would provide a way of setting up separate alerts by device type.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
