Here my situation. I have created a GC of devices for a particular group of users. The users have identified that they need to see any alarms for a particular interface on each device. I have created custom search to identify these interfaces, but I don't know how to set them up to show up as a minor alarm on their associated devices and as a alarm on the alarm list for the GC. Is there a way to set these interfaces up in bulk to alarm on the device?
Unfortunately this isn’t as simple as you would hope. If you only need to have “Bad Link Detected” alarms on the device, then you can just change “AssertLinkDownAlarm” attribute to true on all interfaces. But that won’t do it for any other alarm. The only other option is event rules/procedures. You’ll have to customize it for each event ☹
Here’s an example:

No I just need the "Bad link detected" alarm. So I set them all to "yes", but still don't see the minor alarm show up on the device even though the interface is in "condition -normal, status -down" state.
Do you have the alarm on the interface? If so was the alarm on the interface before you made the change?
Yes it was there before the change.
Ok, that’s probably why then. Changes like this only apply to NEW alarms, so an alarm after the change should show on the device.
Ok thanks
