Hi All
Yes I agree this is an issue too. I was trying to get around it by creating a port group of all ports that were in a non-admin down state and set the alerts to use that, but I cant see to find a way to add a port group to the alert sensor.
Can this please be fixed?
Thanks
Richard

I noticed this too, it was like if the SFP was inserted, it’d still throw an error because the transceiver tx/rx limits were technically still out of spec. There needs to be logic to check for the interface status first, then disable the thresholds/alerts if down.
I had just considered removing optics for ports that were shut, but kinda annoying for sure.

Hi,
Has anyone else seen the issue where after enabling an alert checker for transceiver optics with sensor_value greater @sensor_limit andsensor_value less @sensor_limit_low, alerts are still received for shutdown interfaces?
For example, on a cisco switch when running ‘show interfaces transceiver detail’, we can see;
Optical High Alarm High Warn Low Warn Low Alarm
Receive Power Threshold Threshold Threshold Threshold
Port (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm) (dBm)
Te1/1/25 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9
Te2/1/1 -40.0 1.9 -1.0 -9.9 -13.9
Etc..
Te1/1/25 admin down down
Te2/1/1 admin down down
Etc
The sensors page shows the correct thresholds etc, but shows the interface in Red (and hence is generating alerts through the checker), rather than grey (as the port is shutdown and has no fibre connected – hence -40dbm.).

The same port on the Ports page does show the interface as being grey/shutdown
cid:image002.png@01D4E0C6.4F698990
Have no idea how to resolve this and stop getting transceiver alerts for shutdown interfaces? This sounds like a potential bug?
Thanks, Andy.
