Guys, Is the policy manager capable of looking at the description on an interface and altering the monitoring characteristics? I was thinking about the adding a field on the end of an interface description like so:
interface GigabitEthernet0/3 description Connection to WAN Router [SE] I would then write a policy for Spectrum so that if it detected an 'S' in the brackets at the end of the description, it would turn on all kinds of monitoring, but if it lacked an S, then it would turn off polling of that interface. I would do something equally clever in eHealth for the E, but that's another list. This would put the power of determining what to monitor in my Network folks hands via the device config and I would not have to make any manual changes to Spectrum models. Seems like there is always some stupid port that is used for testing and they don't want alarms from it. I don't want a ton of maintenance mode alarms hanging around either. Is this a pipe dream? Harder to implement than I would think? Stupid for other reasons? -Ken --- To unsubscribe from spectrum, send email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe spectrum [email protected]
