Yes, I can get the report via SRM. I just need a way to alert on going over a certain threshold of used ports.
Anybody taken it to that next step? Thanks.

Older version of report manager could tell you how many used ports. I assumed they left that report in 9.2?

We use both Spectrum 9.2.3 and eHealth 6.3.0. A request from a customer came in: they want to be alerted when a switch is running out of ports that can be used. E.g. I have a switch that has 100 ports and 80 of them are being used. They'd like to be able to alert that it has crossed that threshold or notification that has reached a certain threshold. I tried going down the SpectroWatch route and thought I had it with the equation of "(Neighborlist/ifNumber)*100" to give me a percentage used (assuming all connections are correct and complete). Alas, the "NeighborList" attribute is a dotted decimal rather than an integer and SpectroWatch balks at trying to interpret the octet string. It complains about dividing an octet string by an integer (which the ifNumber is). An example NeighborList show as "52.0.0.0.227.39.139.1.198.149.139.1.204.249.139.1.194.6.141.1.160.206.137.1.244.167.141.1.38.198.141.1.219.207.141.1.252.207.141.1.29.208.141.1.62.208.141.1.128.208.141.1.161.208.141.1.172.212.141.1.245.219.141.1.30.220.141.1.29.221.141.1.32.221.141.1.36.221.141.1.39.221.141.1.43.221.141.1.46.221.141.1.50.221.141.1.53.221.141.1.215.30.143.1.12.17.141.1.170.207.139.1.7.7.143.1.101.112.142.1.124.169.139.1.186.207.141.1.95.208.141.1.133.205.137.1.147.238.141.1.22.238.141.1.63.238.141.1.73.233.139.1.95.78.141.1.223.46.139.1.170.63.139.1.61.144.139.1.98.144.139.1.116.133.137.1.147.168.139.1.236.217.140.1.125.78.141.1.156.17.141.1.172.127.141.1.105.238.141.1.223.123.140.1.28.85.141.1.54.19.140.1" which is a long way of saying, '4' neighbors. I tried also looking at eHealth to see if there were a similar attribute to NeighborList (which is an internal Spectrum attribute, I know) that I could do a Live Exception against, but I couldn't find one. Any ideas from anybody? I'm hoping somebody has done this already. Thanks.
