If I remember correctly, you need to add the following to your config.php to disable interface error alerts:
$config['frontpage']['device_status']['errors'] = FALSE;
Hope this helps.

Hello Observium team
I am monitoring different kind of devices (linux / windows / cisco) through my Observium. Everything work fine except for some Windows server 2012 network interfaces : the failover interfaces.
Microsoft uses some kind of interface to supply a failover service (2 servers of the same kind speaks a special black protocol to monitor themself). From the Windows Server, interfaces are "Microsoft failover cluster virtual adapter". From Observium, they are seen as ethernet device and as tunnel device.
Observium always seens some packet loss on these interfaces (however, there are no packet loss in the network, even with huge stress). So ... it keeps alerting for packet loss.
You would say "turn monitoring or alerting off on these interfaces". Well .. that what I did :
But I keep getting some alert in the eventlogs :
The others real interfaces on the server work fine (good monitoring, no loss, no alerting). I am only having the problem on these kind of interfaces.
Why does Observium always see packet loss on these interface ? Why does Observium do not stop alerting when I tell him to ?
Thanks for answer!
