Interface Status Models - IfLinkUpDown -
Path: /model/interface_status/iflinkupdown.mod
This multi-alarm behavior model monitors node interfaces. When an interface goes down and remains down for a specified time (the default is three minutes), NerveCenter sends a 7004 Inform to the platform. When an interface comes back up, the alarms return to ground. The monitored nodes must be associated with a property group that contains the property ifEntry.
Two additional alarms, IfLinkUpDown_LogToDB and IfLinkUpDown_LogToFile, are part of this model. When you enable these alarms, they perform a Log To Database or a Log to File alarm action, respectively, on each transition so that reports on interface up/down status can be produced.
The following property must be in the property group for the nodes you want to monitor:
Below is a list of the objects that generate triggers:
