End link in CA Spectrum is in Suppressed State when event 0x10d18 is observed however, Clear Event is not generated when End Link is no longer Suppressed

Products

• CA Spectrum

Issue/Introduction

An end link went in the suppressed state, we see the event 0x10d18 logged for the same, but why do we not find its clear event when the end link came out of the suppressed state?

Environment

All versions of Spectrum running on supported platforms

Cause

For the link up and link down traps, there is underlying code that controls all of this.  Out-of-the-box, the event 0x10d18 asserts suppressed condition.

The ONLY event configured to clear that suppressed condition is the event 0x10d2a and, Out-of-the-box it is not a logged event.

This is the reason why we do not see the clear event for the event 0x10d18.

Resolution

To log event 0x10d2a, do the following:

1. Login to your OneClick Client 
2. Click Tools > Utilities > Event Configuration 
3. Once loaded, filter on the event code 0x10d2a
4. In the details area of this event, go to the Event Options tab.
5. Select "Store Event in Historical Database"
6. Click the Save button. Click okay to any pop ups.
