Alcatel Lucent : Strange "Interface changed: [ifConnectorPresent]" flood

Hello,
I have many Alcatel Lucent routers in my backbone. Since I have add these routers, my eventlog is flooded by "Interface changed: [ifConnectorPresent]": http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/712223floodalcatel.png I have 1274 eventlog pages for the router in example :-/
Do you have the same problem?
Thanks, Johann

Lol, the fuck is this shit? :)
Seems we need a bit of code to disregard that value on Alcatel kit, since I have no idea what that is that they're returning! :D
This OID should be either true (1) or false (2). Anything else should probably be squished to NULL.

Ok, I just committed a change to only permit 'true' and 'false' as valid values for ifConnectorPresent.
If anything else is returned, it'll be set to NULL.

Thanks Adam!
I have updated my deployment. But It's seems always have a little problem :-) http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/707969alcaltelobs.png

Hah. That is me overcorrecting, other parts of the code need null yo be in an array. I'll fix it when I'm out of the bath :)

It's seems good!
I can remove the eventlog message in database with this commands without issue in Observium interface? :) DELETE FROM `eventlog` WHERE `message` like "Interface changed: [ifConnectorPresent]%" AND `device_id` IN (25,28,29,38)
Thank you and good next bath ;-) Johann

Johann,
Yes, you can delete the messages from the event log like that without causing issues.
