Yep - but as far as I can figure, this is for a particular event. Hoping for a more generic solution - maybe it will need to be from our alarming system...
This weekend we had a couple of thousand wireless alarms, last month we had thousands of OSPF alarms, before that it was link down, etc. Want to prevent the flood that we won't know about beforehand - maybe in the next Spectrum release it will turn on some new trap... -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Stein [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: January 31, 2012 2:57 PM To: spectrum Subject: RE:[spectrum] Flapping Rules Importance: Low Have you tried using the event counter rule?

(today it is wireless controllers) Does anyone use a more generalised flapping rule? Eg. if the same alarm has been generated 15 times on one device in the last hour, it is considered a flapping alarm. We use AlarmNotifier to integrate with Omnibus. Of course the devices should stop sending the traps, but that is another issue. Hoping to deal with it closer to the source (Spectrum), but to add a new flapping for any type of alarm is too many changes. Appreciate any ideas, Thanks.
