don’t get me wrong, they will be changed. But for any “production switch”,
you need “change management approval process” to touch.
If you're team is that lazy - why not just let the alerts fire and set an
outlook rule... an outlook rule is one place you can filter what alerts
you see... without making anyone do anything over the next 10 years for a
"long term" fix.

That is a longer term fix. We already have thousands of ports not having
any configure, or retired port which used to be valid yet nobody cared to
admin down them.
I agree with you though it is best to be fixed on the configure. But
unfortunately, we take over the existing configurations which is already
a mess… reality…

This seems like a poor workaround IMO as you will forever be needing to
modify SQL tables as ports change state to and from "unused" or you add
new devices. Do you not put a suitable description in your unused
interfaces that you could use as an additional check in your alert? ie
"ifName notmatch AVAILABLE" AND "ifOperStatus eq down".

It looks like to be in the alert_table table.
mysql> select * from alert_table where ignore_until_ok!='0’;
I might just directly turn that bit to 1 for all ports currently in down
state.

I found an option to do ignore until ok on the interface settings. But
it is really unrealistic to do this manually for hundreds of ports. Any
easier way to achieve this? I do want to monitor ports status, but I
don¹t want to get a flood of alerts every 24 hours. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
We have some switches with thousands of ports. I know, we don¹t have
administrative down for unused ports. So I set up port down alerts for
all ports, so that the initial alert of the down ports, I just ignore
so I know those are ports already down. So the theory is that for any
following alerts, I will look into them.
But I found out observium will send out the massive port down alerts
exactly in 24 hours frequency. How do I disable the persistent alerting?
I want observium only alert me once for an event period.
Thanks a lot.
