Unplugged feature for all Nodes

lter over 14 years ago

Hi,

Is it possible to have “Unplugged” status rather than down for all nodes?

We have some network devices that occasionally plugged and unplugged to the network for long period of time.

It would be very nice to have them in unplugged status and change poling time to ones a day for the unplugged device. And get to default poling time when device will get back up.

Since it is already exists for the interfaces it should be easy to implement for all nodes.

Thank you.

P.S. Changing polling time for the unplugged device would be very helpful feature as well.

No. That's not possible at this time. We'll think about that for a future release.

Id like to see an unplugged device feature to....
We have several remote sites where they are susceptible to power cut's or the site is only open a couple of days and they turn all kit off when they are not there...

We have the same issue. However, I would like to submit that we should be able to MONITOR for a period of time. Therefore, you could re-use your code for "Unmanaged" and "Alert Suppression" to make this work for Nodes.
In this fashion, one could specify a custom time where the Node would be "Unmanaged" for a custom choice of time. Su M T W TR F Sa and Time {from} - {to}.
Our issue is that we have many places where the power is shut off after the location is vacated for the night.
This would help greatly.

Since the database has start and end times only for most devices, could we not just change the TIMES for the devices in question? It seems that the code is allowing for time only already. For example, if I change the time from 12:00am (the present default in the DB) to 7:30 a.m. and then change the "TO" time from 12:00am (again the present default in the DB) to 18:00 or 6:00 p.m. , couldn't we assume that the specified time would be honored every day?
