Hi all,

I'm looking for a little help figuring our why my port alert checker didn't seem to work.I set up port alert checker to trigger when greater than 80%. The actual usage was at 100% for a couple hours. This is a gigabit interface set to 100m with a bandwidth statement. The screen shot reflects the 100m speed correctly. I've attached a couple screen shots with my port and alert check. Any ideas why it didn't fire off?

Thanks, Chip

Your check requires > 80% in both directions simultaneously to trigger -- was that actually the case?

Thanks, Mark

In your "Check condition" you have markt ALL, you have to change that to ANY

Otherwise its correct.
