Interface warning with NPM 12.1

wjcoats

Since upgrading to NPM 12.1 I have been receiving some strange warnings.  The warnings are as follows:

Interface Ethernet8 - MAAS Server2 for node R1-7A-DMZ-7050 is 2.

Interface Ethernet8 - MAAS Server2 for node R1-7A-DMZ-7050 is 1.

When I click on the warning it takes me to the interface page, but it doesn't give me any other information.  Has anybody else gotten these warnings and what do they mean?

I would expect those are being added to the event log as part of an alert that has an action to write the status to the npm event log.  The statuses are not being formatted so it is spitting out the raw status codes.  Not sure why this would change specifically alongside the upgrade as i haven't seen this in my environments but if you can hunt down your interface down type alerts and look at their actions you will probably find something like this

Interface ${Interface.Caption} for node ${NodeName} is ${Interface.Status}.

Change that to this and see if it fixes things.

Interface ${Interface.Caption} for node ${NodeName} is ${N=SwisEntity;M=Status;F=Status}
