Is there a way to configure NPM to not show unplugged ports under the alerts. We have hundreds of unplugged ports to our access switches to monitor up/down activity.
Gotcha - I figured out what was happening. When I added the interfaces, NPM marked them as down. When I edited them to be unpluggable, it never cleared the alarm. When I disabled the alert and re-added it, I was good. I also converted it to an advanced alarm. Thanks for all the help.
You can multi-select the user ports in Node Management, click the "Display as unplugged..." check box then alter the interface alert as shown below.
I have the ports setup as unpluggable, but I see them in the Interface Status alerts. I don't see the "Interface Status" alert in basic alerts to alter it.
Ah - it is an option in advanced alerts
I don't see any basic or advanced alerts call "Interface Status". How can I alter this alert?
The alert I show above is from the Advanced Alert Manager. It is the "Alert me when an Interface goes down" canned alert which I have edited. Take a look at this paper which can help understand the Advance Alert Manager.
