    The dynamic alarm title cannot be put in place just for some specific interfaces on devices. Its a setup that you do generically on all alarms.

    If you want to achieve that, you should work with event procedures to filter only specific interfaces. Those should generate different events/alarms that should be configured to dinamically change the alarm title.

    So either change the alarm title for all interfaces or use event procedures to filter out only relevant interfaces. If you go down the path of event procedures, I would recommend not to rely on external attributes for filtering purposes. Use internal attributes, better of some that are loaded in memory.

    Interface alarms are controlled by GeneratePortStatusAlarms( 0x12a54 ).  If you don't want interface alarms, you can set this to No for a set of interfaces.

    Generally, this is best done via a Policy on a Global Collection, or by changing the default.  You can create a GC like "Interfaces I don't want alarms on", and put all the interfaces that you don't want to alarm, and then set a policy to set "GeneratePortStatusAlarms" to No.
