Hi Adam,

I’ll check out the alert association, that sounds like it may be a better long term solution rather than manually enabling/disabling ports; that is if I can work out those rules as you stated.

I have temporarily increased the max_input_vars in PHP to get past this issue.

Thanks for the quick response!

AJ

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.
