Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask this question but I am interested in setting up alerts for key ports only. I have setup the example which shows Enabled ports which are currently down:
Tests ifAdminStatus equals up ifOperStatus notequals up
Entity Match ifType equals ethernetCsmacd
However I cannot work out how to refine it further - such as trunk ports only or if the port description contains a string, such as "CORE". We would like to know when key ports go down only. I have tried adding:
ifAlias equals *CORE*
and similar configuration but I expect I have the syntax incorrect. The idea would be to alert on either ports containing a certain word in their description or on tagged/trunk ports.
I also tried to find a location to search the old emails from this mailing list but have been unable to find it.
Many thanks,
Peter
Dear
Try using ifAlias match instead of equals.
