Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
Interface instrumentation stays in Smarts IP 9.0 topology even after interface is deleted in the device When creating an interface, instrumentation is created upon the next Smarts IP discovery, but when deleting an interface, the instrumentation stays until it is manually deleted from the Smarts IP topology
Smarts IP 9.0 count of instrumentation objects is much higher than the total managed P&I
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Cause
There is a known issue with Smarts IP 9.0 code that will cause this issue in conditions like the following:
Create a loopback/tunnel/vlan interface on a device.
Discover the device in Smarts IP domain and you will find the interface object and its instrumentation in the repository.
Delete the loopback/tunnel/vlan interface.
Rediscover the device in Smarts IP.
The interface object is no longer in the repository, but the instrumentation is still there and the SNMP OIDs are still being polled.
