Need help, how to send alert for Err-Disabled ports

Hello,

What "trigger condition" should I use to make Alert Manager send emails when a port status changes to Err-Disabled for any reason ?

Thank you.

Interface = not up

That doesnt work

Interface = not up = any other reason (Down/Warning/Shutdown/Unplugged/Testing...)

I'm looking for something to trigger when Err-Disabled activated only.

You should be able to use the Syslog Alerting to notify you when a port goes into error-disable stat.

Here are some examples of the e-mail alerts I have configured:

ERROR: %SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD: Received BPDU on port FastEthernet2/17 with BPDU Guard enabled. Disabling port.
SEVERITY: Critical

HOST: 10.10.100.1
ERROR: %PORT_SECURITY-2-PSECURE_VIOLATION: Security violation occurred, caused by MAC address 0009.be0d.18e7 on port FastEthernet4/8.

ERROR: %RTD-1-LINK_FLAP: FastEthernet0/9 link down/up 6 times per min
SEVERITY: Alert

ERROR: Jul 16 21:16:37 PDST: loopback error detected on Fa0/1, putting Fa0/1 in err-disable state

I've been using Syslog alert, but still searching for a way to do it with Alert Manager, its more flexible for me that way. I've searched the forum and saw someone else has asked for the feature since 2008. I guess SolarWinds still have no plan to implement this useful feature.
