Stop Event Generation

How do I stop seeing events such as this one...

switch_name Port 3:7 - 3:7- Configured Interface Speed changed from 1000000000 to 10000000 bps

They completely fill up my event log and I really have no interest in this event. I don't see anywhere that is configured with these alerts. There has to be some way to ignore them though right?

Hi Tim,

You will only be changing the Interface Remapped eventName in the EventType table. There is a separate column for up, down, unknown, etc you will see all of them when you look in that table. You will just be setting the this to zero in the record column (or unchecking it if using Orion database manager)

Hi Timsilverline,

There is no way to stop this on the website.

You will need to open the database to do this

**Please make sure to have a backup of your database before you do any of this work **

Open the database using Orion Database Manager

Find the table - EventType

Untick the record field

Refresh

Restart your Orion Services.

Hope that helps

I agree with Melanie suggestion.I also want to add here that in the eventstable the field Eventtype=19 is for "Interface changed",when the record is unticked your problem would temporarily be resolved.However this would not give you a permanent fix.By unticking the record field,its going to stop any interface change values.

I would recommend to open a support ticket to look into this.

I have opened the Database Manager and have found the table "EventTypes"

I do not understand the next part of your directions. How do I "untick the record field"?

Nandish

This is the query which you need to execute inorder to have the record field unticked.

Update EventTypes set record='false' where eventtype=19

Okay thanks. So if I run this are you saying that I will also no longer get event types where the interface status goes up and down? Because I would like to still receive those if possible.

I am just not interested in the ones where it says the bandwidth is changing. The only way to accomplish this would be to open a support case and hope they issue a patch?

Thanks,

Tim
