Hi. What is this mps_webapp-8.5.1_HF1 function?

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Is to Improved performance opening Admin Console based probe GUI. However, I am using raw config for the snmptcollector

[Franklin Ravi D'souza]

Hi
You mentioned slow performance to open template in admin console gui
Mentioned in release notes on hotfix link

mps_webapp-8.5.1_HF1.zip fixes the following issue: - Improved performance opening Admin Console based probe GUI steps:  - import this package into your archive - deploy the package to the UIM primary hub - wasp probe will automatically restart.  This will also be included in UMP 9.0.

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Hello. However, is only the snmpcollector when opening the config from the probe itself.

[Hong Zhi Lin]

How shall I use the template itself to monitor just the interface? 

[Franklin Ravi D'souza]

You can check the template filters for device and interface in the link below

Hi. I have read thru the link and have attach it at the start of the question.

 

I would like to monitor the power up/down for the interface? But unsure which wan to turn on the monitoring for the interface? 

[Phani Devulapalli]

You can look at the below two variables in the template if you want to monitor the ifOperStatus or ifAdminStatus of interface 

 

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Hi. Yup. I have read the above template. which want monitor the power up and down?

[Yu Ishitani]

hi

 

IfAdminStatus metric provides you the value of Administrative Status of interface.

IfOperStatus metric provides you the value of Operational Status of interface.

 

These are generic in IF-MIB. (Interface MIB)

So you could google for more meaning of these metrics.

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Hi. So do u mean that when I active IfAdminStatus and IfOperStatus it help us to monitored the interface for up and down?

[Yu Ishitani]

you are correct.

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Hi. Are you able to locate the documents for me? I could not find much information base on my finding.  

[Yu Ishitani]

Hi, I appreciate if you tell us what types of documents you looking for.

[Hong Zhi Lin]

Thank for the prompt replied. Is there any document which can provide the below detail?

 

IfAdminStatus metric provides you the value of Administrative Status of interface.

IfOperStatus metric provides you the value of Operational Status of interface.

 

• These would be the states

   

  ifAdminStatus

  1 : up

  2 : down

  3 : testing

   

   

  IfOperStatus 

  1 : up

  2 : down

  3 : testing

  4 : unknown

  5 : dormant

  6 : notPresent

  7 : lowerLayerDown

[Phani Devulapalli]

Both IfAdminStatus and IfOperStatus are more generic MIB variables which describes the state of the interface . A google search would provide you with numerous articles which helps explain what these states are , these are not specific to a monitoring solution or UIM.

 

Please take a look at the below article which has some details on the states
