Well, since the thing you're looking at is deprecated, there's no preferred method :P
But having those ports set as ignored should cause them not to appear there. I've no idea why they are. Are you sure they weren't always?

If it’s being depreciated then what’s the preferred exclusion method for rubbish half-duplex ports that throw errors all day? Is there an alternative way of filtering their noise out? Cheers!

Or any pointers towards a flag that needs to be set to stop them showing up? It makes reading the summary notifications quite difficult when it’s flooded with irrelevant errored ports :) Cheers!

We have quite a few devices which have ‘expected’ errors (half-duplex IP-PDUs etc.) so are now being spammed with error’ed ports: They _do_ disappear if I select the device itself to be ignored, but they used to be silenced just by setting the ‘Alerts’ column to ‘No’. Is this an error - or is there now an intentional new variable which I need to set in config.php to ignore them? Cheers guys!
