Adam,

I’ve run across this issue in the past, but it’s been a while.  I’ve wanted to redesign the Ports page to use a little javascript (helper) to send a single JSON stanza on POST instead of 100s of individual variables.  Haven’t thought it all the way through, but maybe you want to tackle it.

Another idea I haven’t had time to implement is Shift+Click to toggle a contiguous group of inputs.  So, say you want to disable alerts on ifIndex 10 through 50.  Click the ifIndex 10 toggle switch, then Shift+Click the ifIndex 50 toggle.  This feature could be a big time saver for some people.

Hi AJ,

It might be easier to exclude these in the alert association if you can work out a set of rules for that.

The page not saving is due to a PHP limitation. You need to change "max_input_vars" in your php.ini (/etc/php5/apache/php.ini, perhaps)

Hello list,

I have just added a bunch of our end user access switches to Observium (thanks to the devs adding Nortel support!). Anyway, I don’t want to be alerted or notified if those particular ports go up or down. The only way I know how to stop alerting on ports is to toggle the alerts field in the ports properties of the specific device.

However, whenever I select all the ports on a device that has a large number of ports (over 300) all the ports show that they are toggled to off, then I click save. When the page refreshes I only see about two-thirds of them are toggled off, the rest of them are still set to poll or alert. When I manually toggle some ports and click save, the setting doesn’t save.

Any help or insight on this would be appreciated.
