Config of the interface rule not visible

[akoopal (Andre Koopal)]

I have been working on monitoring our cisco MDS switches. Aim is to get an alert if an interface goes down, ports that are shut will be admin down.

For that at first I set the rule ‘Network interface and switch port discovery’ where I enabled Fiberchannel interfaces, to only discover ‘Admin Up’ interfaces, and use description to identify interfaces. For the ‘Admin Up’ I also set the Rule ’ Disabled or enabled sections (SNMP)’ per inline documentation to include if64adm.

So far all works. As the last rule, I set a rule ‘Network interfaces and switch ports’ to only see up as a valid operation state. That works, and my down interface is correctly marked as critical. However when I edit the rule again, I don’t see that the operation state is set in the rule. If I disable the rule, the interface is OK again, so the rule itself works. But if I save the rule, the config is gone and the interface again is OK.

This sounds like a bug to me.

This problem is also described here.

Changes to "Network interfaces and switch ports" service monitoring rule not being saved

The problem has been fixed as part of this werk: Werk #18191: Fix saving of Network interfaces and switch ports rule

The last post shows that it will be fixed with p5 release.
