Description

Monitors the Interface Status, Utilization, Traffic, Errors and Discards Rate. It uses the 32 bit counter oids to monitor Traffic and Utilization. It monitors interfaces that has operational status up.

Prerequisites

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

How to Apply: This template is automatically select instance based on the below mentioned properties:
ifAdminStatus
ifOperStatus

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.
    AlertThe alert value can be set to either Yes or No. If it is Yes, then an alert message is sent to the user.
