Not really an issue. Send more traffic through the Intf and it will be go away.

You have two options here:

1. Generate traffic for the affected interface

2. Disable the monitoring for the interface in your health policy

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Just out of the interest, if I Disable the monitoring for the interface in your health policy, how this will solve the problem, this will only stop sending the alert, am I right?

Thank you

Disabling the monitoring in FMC will simply stop the health monitoring and as a result, you will no longer be alerted. Generally, if you have a good external SNMP monitoring system (Such as PRTG or Orion) then you can disable these type of health monitoring in the FMC.
