Hi all
New to OpsView - I have it running smoothly but have a question about switch monitoring via SNMP I've read what I can find thus far and still don't have a clear understanding of how to address the issue of fully monitoring a switch via SNMP ... for instance I have a dell PowerConnect 3448 stack , 3 units , 144 ports SNMP lists all of the interfaces - ( developers please note a check all/uncheck all here would be fantastic ) , I selected all of them but now understand this may be a bad idea as they are listed in administrative state up , but the link is down and are acknowledged by OpsView as a critical even and generate an alert. My limited understanding of what it would mean in relationship to this thread - http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg01605.htm l - is that I would need to shut down those interfaces on the switch and that no one would be able to utilize the port until I activate the port ... not really what I am looking for I read some on SNMP trap filtering but in that case I didn't see a correlation to applying it to my situation - I want to track all of the stats for the ports , I want to know when a port goes up or goes down ( state change only ) yet don't want consider an unused port a critical event for the device being monitored Any advice or pointers appreciated Thanks in advance ! Chris
