How to create an alert for all interfaces except 2.

MathieuJM over 13 years ago

Hi,

I need to setup an alert based on average utilization for all interfaces in NPM except for two.

How can i easily create the trigger condition in order to do this ?

I have think about this but i'm not sure:

Is it correct or not ?

Cheers

I would do this with a Custom Property. I created the Custom Property "Ignor Util" and marked just the two interfaces to ignore for high util and made the following alert. I have seperated out xmit fron recv because almost all interfaces are full duplex so adding in+out gives a meaningless number.

Just to be sure the way the filter on the custom property works: do you mean that i need to create a custom property called "Ignor util" and for the two interfaces i don't wish to have the alert i fill it with "No".
In the trigger i will setup the filter with "Ignor util is equal to No" ?
Is that correct or should i fill all the interfaces except the 2 i will ignore with No and the 2 i will ignore with "Yes" ?

Cheers

The way custom properties work for Yes/No properties is that the user interface gives you check boxes to assign the property to nodes. So if you just check the box on the 2 you want ignored then it assigns a 'yes' to those 2. All the other unchecked boxes are 'no'. It is a little odd because the user interface doesn't say yes/no.
