Alerts for interface utilization

Votes:

0

I'm trying to Generate notifications based on interface utilization. I know I can set limits at the sensor level but I'm currently tracking about 18K sensors, which makes setting limits at that level no a valid solution. Anyone have a good solution for this?

notifications snmp-traffic threshold-trigger

is it the same limit for all the sensors?

I will do a 1000 of them at a time displaying say all snmp bandwidth sensors...change it to display 1000 and use the multi-edit function and do a 1000 of them at a time.

They are mostly 10G interfaces. Typically we don't monitor access ports for end devices only trunks and lacp interfaces. I will try your suggestion but what I would really like to do is use a percentage as the trigger, i.e any time an interface hits say 80% utilization to place that interface into warning and send an alert
