Anyone ever figure this out? We're having this problem on our Cisco Switch - and we're running the latest version of the IOS that we can. :( Thanks, Shawn

However, now that I've upped the "trigger" to 3 I find I'm still getting "SVCDOWN .. missed 1" entries inthe log. Is there something I have to do to apply the change properly? I tried shutting down and restarting the program, but I'm still getting these entries.

This version introduced a new feature that might help you solve your problem. Configure -> Monitors and Services -> Interface -> Edit The "Test fails when exceeded x consecutive times" is what is new in v7.01 - at least for "Constant Value" checks... it was present in v7.0 for the other two check types. Try increasing the value of x from 1 to some higher figure. This will help you avoid the situation where single dropped packets cause SVCDOWN log entries. If you decide that only certain devices require this "desensitization", then you could also create a copy of the Interface monitor, such that the original definition uses the default value of x =1 and the copy (reserved for monitoring your problem devices) uses a larger value of x.

Interface(x) .... missed 1" I get from several of my Cisco routers. I have been asked for more specific details about the affected machines: the models include 2501, 2610 and 3640, running a range IOSs from 10.3 to 12.2. The interfaces affected include Ethernet, Serial (leased line) and Serial (frame-relay) . Thus there seems to be no common link between the devices. Also, all interfaces were successfully "auto discovered" by WUG during initial configuration. In a bid to better understand the Service Interface mechanism I have begun to look at the debug log (which provides a wealth of information). It seems to me (and this is borne out in the Help Manual) that when a device is polled, the specified interfaces' MIBs are checked to determine whether the given interface is up or down. For some reason, at regular intervals, when polled these machines appear to be asserting that certain interfaces are down. However, a check of the devices' Syslog logs shows quite clearly there was no such outage. Furthermore, I've started ICMP polling individual interfaces, and they show no pings being missed. This is all most annoying , because it means my logs fill up with spurious SVCDOWN messages and I am rather losing faith in what is or isn't an alarm. I would rather not have to disable interface monitoring but at the moment I don't see any other option.
