Jürgen and the List, Yes, I would definitely appreciate and use more options of how to acknowledge interface outages.
I'd like to Ack interfaces in at least the following new ways: 1) a 'timed maintenance' Ack which would behave just like it does on a device. 2) a general 'ignore' type of Ack, which would: a) put the attached device into a non-polling state b) put a blue 'X' on the link c) NOT change the color of the parent device, as in stay green d) resume polling of the device when the link comes back up e) still log the outage in the device status as it normally would Randy Millsop San Joaquin Delta College ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jürgen Brändle" <[email protected]> To: "InterMapper Discussion" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2012 12:01:08 AM Subject: [IM-Talk] IM Wishlist from Freiburg Hi there, just following the wish-list discussion and also wanted to put my request here. I asked a lot of times for a new feature but it isn't implemented yet. So I wanted to know if I'm the only one who needs this: I like to see a more granularly way to acknowledge interfaces. It should be possible to do this the same way as a device e.g. in the interface list of a device it should be a possibility to acknowledge an interface the following ways 1. ignore outages at all / always ack (like ignore outages ack for devices itself) 2. "normal" ack (the one already working) 3. timed ack Here is why I like to see this: I monitor a lot of cisco switches and their interfaces. Every time a switchport goes down because a device (sensible clients) on such a port goes down (rebooting or shut down during night or holiday) the switch goes in a warning state. If I can use a "Ignore outages" flag on interface level everything would be much better. At now I have to hide all these interfaces to get a "green" state for the switch. The timed ack would be nice for maintenance of servers connected to a switch. At now you always have to check all the maps not in "green" status.
