Detecting flaps isn't something we can do at the moment.
Syslog would be a possibility, if you can generate syslog message from these events.
SNMP traps aren't syslog, and we don't support them at all (because they're horrifically complex to handle and only a small subset of our userbase even know what they are!)

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. _______________________________________________ observium mailing list observium@observium.org http://postman.memetic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/observium
