Hello Experts, I want to know get some ideas how Spectrum administrators do Event management. Once in a while I usually see Archive experts Event Table - Average Daily Growth section. Yesterday after three weeks from my last observation I noticed that there was an increase of 70 Mbpd. Not many devices had been added to Spectrum in last few days, so I started digging the cause of increase and things started getting interesting.
1. We were getting a lot of Authentication failure traps (Event 0x1030a) 60-75 K traps per day from few of our servers and switches (non-cisco), however no alarm were generated in Spectrum. 2. Several ports in the environment were flapping, however they were below the threshold of Link up/down alarm, so un-noticed. 3. We have so many different types of devices in our environment that it's difficult to keep up with all the MIBs and evaluate every trap. One device which was recently upgraded suddenly started sending 100K + traps a day which was unmapped hence went un-noticed. So, before I go crazy and re-invent the wheel, I want to hear from the experts how do you find issues in your environment for which you might be collecting data however goes undetected like few scenarios described above.
