Hi team, I have this case.
There is a Switch that is connected to another Switch, let us call it, Switch A and Switch B.
Switch B is showed in Gray color.
Switch A is showed in Green color. However Switch A has an alarm due an Interface with a Bad Link Detected. The interface affected is Gi1/1/1 and Switch B is connected on this interface.
As Spectrum is not able to communicate with Switch B, its shows this device in Gray color.
Question: is there a way to trigger an alarm for this condition on Switch B? I know, that maybe the Switch B is Up and running and maybe there is not a valid reason to have an alarm triggered, but since Spectrum is not able to assert wether this device is UP or DOWN, can we have an alarm just to know that there is a Gray condition and that we have something to look at on Switch B?
I know, we already have the other alarm for Bad Link Detected in Switch A, and by looking at that alarm, we should be able to, after doing some troubleshooting to determine that there is a problem happening on Switch B.
Summarizing. Is there way to view alarms on the "Alarm View" for Suppressed/Unknown devices (Showed in Gray color) and to have these alarms logged in the AlarmNOTIFIER.out file?
Greetings.
