Currently we have a threshold profile for bandwidth Utilization that works well, but our NOC would prefer 1 Alert for the main interface, and not the multiple sub-interfaces as well. The profile is alerting on a customer group that pulls in devices, and their interfaces/sub-interfaces based on criteria. And we're looking to allow other metric alerts in that profile to report on their metrics for the sub-interfaces.
One thought is to copy that one alert in a new threshold profile, and a second group negating sub interfaces, in the 1st group. Remove the alert from the original threshold profile, and as a stand alone alert in the new profile, with the new group assigned to that profile.
Any Chance of a different option, that didn't require more build of groups/profiles. As the goal is to maintain an efficient and standardized approach without a lot of special one-offs, and glut.
Thanks
