Alternatively, we’re happy to use an SNMP trap with a Syslog Rule (this is for some Cisco IOS and NXOS switches).

Does anyone know if that would work?

And would it require a transient ‘errdisable’ state? Ie;

errdisable detect cause link-flap

errdisable recovery cause link-flap

errdisable recovery interval 30

snmp-server enable traps errdisable

Their doesn’t seem to be an equivalent “snmp-server enable traps link-flap” sadly, so at the moment I cannot think of any other way of doing this without having to invoke an “errdisable” state for 30 seconds to get the syslog alert..

Thanks for your time and thoughts 😊

Hi,

We are trying to create an Alert Checker to detect for flapping network interfaces.

How can we do this with Observium? Is this possible?

Thanks, Andy.
