We have many PMP radio links in our network that need to be critically monitored. The issue we have with monitoring these links with NPM is that the PMP radios have multiple radio links to various sites and there is currently no way to alert on these individually. Creating an alert for each radio link (within a PMP node) is very messy and not an option.
We can get results via SNMP for each of the links, but generating an alert and current fault state for a specific "link" on a PMP radio is what we need. Has anyone found a way around this, or does SW plan on implementing a change so that this can be done?
The logic we're looking for can be related to a PC and it's disk space. Each disk is a product of the PC which can be monitored and alert on itself. Without being able to have these PMP links for each radio as an entry in the database it doesn't seem like we would be able to accomplish this.
Being able to monitor our network performance is pretty important and a feature that the network performance monitor should take into account. The only work around (not even a band-aid solution) is to rely on the slave radio and hope that it only has a 1:1 link which we can alert on (being the alert would be on the node, not a "wireless PMP link" on the node).
This would be an issue for anyone using PMP hardware, but in our case it's to do with Redline PMP radios.
