Issue/Introduction

We have issue on the two devices, where we are getting alarms and events generated on the interface of the particular device as PERCENT ERRORS THRESHOLD EXCEEDED. 

We have checked the events of the device and found there is some abnormal issues on the respective interface. The alarm is getting triggered when the threshold value is exceeded and getting cleared once when the percentage of packets with errors drops below the reset value which is happening at the same second.

We have requested the network team to check any errors on the interface but they are saying no errors found on the interface or see any issues in switch and port level.

 

 

 

Environment

Release : ALL

Component :SPCAEM

Cause

Attribute DURATION_ERR (0x12be5)  set to same value as polling.

Resolution

Update the attribute DURATION_ERR/0x12be5  so that it is not the same as the poll interval nor divisible by the poll time.

  I.E. if polling is 300, change this to 315 this will force the polling to be on a different cycle then the threshold alarm.
