Hi,

Customer is demanding LINKS Flapping report from CAPC. Is there any metric any MIB that support this functionality.

if any oid exists i will add VC in PC to achieve this.

Or is there any way to achieve this by CA Spectrum as link flapping alarms are available in Spectrum.

Regards

Akash

Hi Akash:

If by flapping port we mean ifadminstatus / ifoperstatus going up and down, I can't think of a great way to do this in CAPC.  I know Spectrum shows this with events

The only thing might be using openapi to list interfaces (which could include the interface status).  I have not tested this so I am not sure if it would work

Your better bet might be spectrum.  You may want to open an issue witht he spectrum team

Hi Akash,

Have a look at the Event Rate condition (https://docops.ca.com/ca-spectrum/10-3-2/en/managing-network/event-configuration/working-with-event-rules/#WorkingwithEventRules-EventRateRules).  We've used this in a number of cases where we aren't interested if an event occurs once or twice, but repeated instances of an event indicate an issue.

It's pretty easy to generate a new event should the target event occur x times in t seconds.

Reporting on these is a different matter, so this might only answer part of your question, but hopefully it's a start.
