you have to generate a probe for each interface you want to monitor, may get lucky and each device happens to use a standard oid and hppens to have the same index, though thats rare, so say you have three devices, thats three probes, that you need to name, if its a device with dynamic indexes based on config, good luck, add more probes, if there are multiple interfaces (like a router) and you dont maintain the same interface number (monitoring RB1100ahx2 can require up to 13 different probes, just to start, granted, those are routers) assuming you dont have vlans.. add more probes. now is the thing, youre alerts are based on good bad warning and down, so only 4 states. so if, say youre monitoring more than one thing per device, (CPU, RX, TX, RSSI, CINR/SNR, etc, you have to make sure than you reserve ob=ne of those states strictly for the alert you want)
not simple, if you actually monitor your gear in powercode If the alerts could be tied to individual probes and be tailored to individual devices, youd be golden, and it would be simple, but, alas, it really is not right now On Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 2:15 PM, Christopher Tyler <ch...@totalhighspeed.net> wrote: > +1 > > -- > Christopher Tyler > MTCRE/MTCNA/MTCTCE/MTCWE > Total Highspeed Internet Services > 417.851.1107 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "David Coudron" <david.coud...@advantenon.com> > To: af@afmug.com > Sent: Monday, October 9, 2017 12:51:08 PM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Link Utilization Monitoring > > Hi Adair, > > We would be interested in hearing more about this.
