Mulitcast event logging

Is there any way to turn off the mulitcast monitoring? Our even manager is filling up with these messages and is shadowing other important events.

Thanks in advance,

Tony

It looks like there is an alert enabled by default in alert manager: Alert me when a multicast routing group at node changes it status. I would try to disable that and see if that meets your requirement. The trigger is set to write to the event log.

I was also going to suggest removing the Multicast Routing resource from the node, if you don't care about multicast at all.

I'm having a similar issue, but I'm interested in keeping the multicast monitoring -- I just don't want the alerts. I've disabled the multicast alerts, but I'm still getting events in the event log.

How do I do this for 400+ nodes?

Hi, thanks for a feedback.

Disabling of alerts will apply to all nodes. however if you want to remove multicast polling you have to do that via "list resources".

Let me ask you a question, you saying you have 400 nodes which are part of multicast groups and you do not care of multicast monitoring or are you using different application for that?

tadavis

Not all 400 nodes are part of multicast, but there are a lot. When we upgraded NPM, this was turned on by default. it would be nice if there was an admin setting to disable by default for all nodes, then turn on for whatever nodes we see fit.

So if I understand correctly, you would like to have just control over what NPM polls correct? Is it because security reasons, performance?

Also, when you've seen multicast feature in NPM, don't you see that useful for your multicast-enabled environment?
