Resolution

• Disable Fault Analysis for Interface/Port will remove the instrumentation object for the Interface/Port and will prevent connectivity status polling of this Interface/Port Threshold group. 

• No SNMP Fault Analysis Poll will be gathered for Interfaces or Ports that's belong on this group.

• Current design is even if "Disable Performance Analysis for Interface/Port" is not selected, Performance Analysis will still be disabled.  

• Example of Disable Fault Analysis set to TRUE:

        <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE-AM get Interface::IF- <name>/369::InstrumentedBy { Interface_Fault_MIB2::I-Interface_Fault_MIB2-IF-<name>/369 }

• If the Disable Fault Analysis is set to FALSE, the above command will return empty.
