Prime Infrastructure 3 - Alerts for errdisabled ports

[tajennings]

Hey All,

 So we have PI v3 installed and setup for monitoring wireless which it does a good job. Now I'm thinking how cool would it be to add our 3850 switches to PI for monitoring and send alerts for when we get error disabled ports etc. 

Sounds good and the lab switches connect fine to PI. I even have SNMP traps enabled, eg: "snmp-server enable traps errdisable" and the snmp-server host set to PI. 

During testing, the SNMP packets for the trap are going to PI (Tested using "debug snmp packets") but PI isn't displaying any alarms or events for the error disable ports. 

Is there anything that needs to be activated on PI to add these type of conditions as alarms?

Install a syslog server:

Thanks for the reply Mohamad. 

I did setup PI to receive syslog from the switch so that works and you can view the syslog messages, but I cannot see anywhere to setup syslog alerts in PI.

I am sorry i had other issues in changing native vlan between mikrotik switch and cisco switch the problem was fixed by a new patch fix on mikrotik :/ .

Ok did you try this:

Do a packet capture when you expect the alerts to come in by verifying in fact that traps have been generated. Look at the reports on PI to verify if any alerts are coming in for that device for other events.

You might want to read the configuration guide on changing the threshold limits to allow those alarms to become events.
