Thanks for the explanation Matt but the code the code in the link you provided does not work and is probably from older Zenoss versions or something. The events in the database do not contain “ifIndex� nor “ifDescr� fields. Anyway ... I did get this working.
Here's how :
Follow the procedure here to set up the active monitoring of interface states : http://www.zenoss.com/Members/cluther/polling-interface-status/
Only the Event Class Transform is different :
Code:
if evt.summary.startswith('threshold of operational status'):
fs_id = device.prepId(evt.component)
for iface in device.os.interfaces():
if iface.id == fs_id:
descr = iface.description
if descr == '':
descr = 'unknown'
# evt.severity = 2 # set the event severity to Info
# evt.eventState = 2 # suppress the event
# evt._action = 'history' # send the event to history
evt._action = 'drop' # drop the event
if evt.severity > 0:
evt.summary = 'Interface %s' % (evt.component) + ' (%s' % (descr) + '),
changed state to down'
else:
evt.summary = 'Interface %s' % (evt.component) + ' (%s' % (descr) + '),
changed state to up'
If the incoming event is about an interface without a description the event
will be dropped. If you want to take a different action when such an event
comes in just uncomment the appropriate line. Although, If there is a
discription the interface it will be included in the event summary.
For example if device "rtr-test" with interface "FastEthernet0/1" and description "switch01" goes down the event will be transformed
from this :
device : rtr-test, component : FastEthernet0/1, eventClass : /Net/Link, summary
: threshold of operational status exceeded : current value 2 ...
to this :
device : rtr-test, component : FastEthernet0/1, eventClass : /Net/Link, summary : Interface FastEthernet0/1 (switch01), changed state to down ...
