Thank you for pointing us to a possible solution. After reading through the “four rules” doc, it appears we may be facing an larger issue . We have thousands of devices, mainly only distribution devices have comments in the if alias’s section but not all. Different sites kind of do their own thing so there’s little uniformity. How can we stipulate from the Description field information only monitor active FortyGigabitEthernet, HundredGigabitEthernet ports for alerting and ignore the rest?
