Hey guys I'm new to solar winds and I'm wondering why this port is acting this way. I haven't received any calls about issues, and it happens all day every day at random times.

I would check the device itself if it goes down same as this particular Interface. You can also check the Polling Interval for this interface.
So, I'm starting to believe it's a reporting issue because a lot the ports show this kind of up and down activity with out there being any network disruptions all of my polling rates are set to 120 seconds also. Below is a pic of the last 24 hours with interfaces that show down, these all come back up very quickly also.
Just thinking out loud, is there any speed or duplex mismatches between the switch and end device? If it is set to auto try manually putting it at the correct settings? Bad cable?
Hmm I can check that, but I do believe that a duplex mismatch would throw a different event. I don't believe that these all are bad cables but i guess anything is possible.
Is the network device getting link down messages in the log? Also, what is the device plugged into the parts warehouse port? Are you sure you don't have an end user messing with something? When I hear warehouse I think of the shenanigans that the warehouse workers would do back when I was on site support. Some of them were well, interesting. Don't be suprised to find a playstation plugged in and they are rebooting it
pcheh , i'll echo what bobmarley mentioned. Look at the network logs. If you are not already sending syslog (or SNMP traps) from that switch, then start sending them to SolarWinds. Many a time I've resorted to logs to see what is happening between polling. For me, it seemed like STP configuration always the culprit.
Are those ports coming from one Network Device or from across your environment? If it is across your environment, maybe it is having issues communicating to the Main Poller/Additional Poller. What is the Polling Method of the devices in question, ICMP or SNMP?
Check if the switch log is showing the link as going up/down. If it does, then the device will need closer investigation. Maybe a sleep mode or something like that.
You may also try plugging the device into a different port on the switch, possible bad port?
Hi,
Check if its an actual flag, I hope its not but just to validate. If not.
Create a seperate alert profile and delete this one, do not copy or duplicate existing one.
Restart job engine after you are done wth changes.
