You can still use the flash green attribute and populate a global collection automatically with devices that have this set. Regards Stephen.

Take a look at the SS/CsVendor/IETF/EventDisp file for the 0x00220002 event. This describes how CA is creating alarms for link flaps. We wrote something before this that simply utilizes the EventRateWindow rule: 0x4790003 R Aprisma.EventRateWindow, 3, 300, "0x04790001 -:-" What this does, is once we get 0x4790003, three times in a 5 minute window, we generate 0x04790001 which raises an alarm indicating this flapping condition. 2 - You get an alarm, but it clears before anyone does anything with it, so you may not realize it happened. Now, we get into a phylisophical debate. I have this debate all the time with my user community. Spectrum is doing what it is supposed to do. It is telling you the current state of the network. The issue has resolved, so it is gone. I then recommend that they go to SRM (Spectrum Report Manager) and run reports to see what has happened. Also, if this was an important event, then it should have triggered a ticket, and that then can be tracked through the ticketing system. Yes, you can modify how Spectrum handles that alarm and stop it from auto clearing, but before you make the change think if you really want to the alarm to hang around. You might be causing yourself more problems with old alarms that don't clear, and not knowing the condition of the system. Yes, I loved the old SpectroGRAPH condition of "flash green enabled", but we don't have that option any longer. So, it is off to looking at reports and tickets to find out what has happened when all looks ok.

As there are some alarms which are missed because the time of generation and clearance is so short. Thank you.
