Interface down - Alarm to be raised when status is up

Post by nms »

Hi,

Scanning some interfaces on a switch resulting on some of them marked as operationally down. Is it possible to set the alert the other way round, i.e if this interface is up an alert is fired (down resulting to an ok)?

Rgds and thanks in advance,

Matthew

The negate plugin can be used with the check_ifoperstatus plugin to change the status that is returned.
