Issue/Introduction

Steps to take for suppressing Interface Disabled event notifications and for suppressing Port Disabled event notifications in Smarts 

Environment

Smarts 10.X / 2.X

Resolution

The following methods are available to disable Interface Disabled and Port Disabled events in Smarts AM/Smarts SAM:
  • Event filtering: Use the Smarts GUI to filter Interface Disabled events.
  • Unmanage the interface: If an administrator executes an admin down on the interface and leaves the interface as Managed, the interface will generate "Disabled" and not "Down" events. If the interface is Unmanaged, no events will be generated.
  • Change an individual interface (for Interface Disabled events only): To suppress Interface Disabled event notifications on an individual interface, you can change the SuppressDisabledNotifications setting on the interface itself. This change will only apply to the individual interface and is not a global setting. To do this, run the following command:
    <BASEDIR>/dmctl-s <server> put Interface::<interfaceName>::SuppressDisabledNotifications  TRUE
    


  • Do not subscribe to Disabled events: Choosing not to subscribe to Disabled events will prevent SAM from receiving any Disabled events.
