How to generate alarm events (interface Down) in Smarts IP for Interfaces with OperStatus as TESTING
No alarm events are generated in Smarts IP for Interfaces with OperStatus as TESTING
Environment
VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS
Resolution
To receive alarm events for interfaces that have operstatus as TESTING, the SuppressTestingNotifications parameter for the interface should be set to FALSE in the configuration file, or the following DMCTL command can be used:
dmctl -s <AM domain name> put Interface::<Interface instance name>::SuppressTestingNotification FALSE
Setting SuppressTestingNotifications=FALSE will generate "Down" events for that particular interface instead of "TESTING" events.
