Description

Monitors the interface operational status. This monitor is applicable only when you want a consolidated alert if more than 1 interface goes down. [OIDs: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2, 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 and 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8]

Prerequisites

SNMP should be enabled in end device and device should support IF-MIB OIDs and SNMP credentials should be attached against the device in portal.

How to Apply: This template will ask user for 2 input parameters while assigning it to a device –

  • Interfaces Group Name

    Provide group name for these interfaces. It will be used in both alerting and graphing of this metric.

    Example 1: DevGroup

  • Interface Individual Names

    Provide interface names (on which, consolidated alert needed) with comma separator.

    Example 1: eth0, eth1, eth2

Metric Parameters

Metric Parameters
ParameterDescription
Frequency
  • Frequency is the interval in which you want to probe and collect metric data from the target device/resource
  • Frequency is defined in minutes (min).
    • Warning ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Warning Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
    Critical ThresholdIf the metric value satisfies the condition defined along with Critical Threshold value, then a notification is sent to the user.
