Alarm: LacpDelPortToAggregator - How show more port information?

Hallo Community,

We have multiple switches, use LAG/MLAG, and monitor everything with XIQ Site Engine (with preconfigured alarms - see image).

If a member of the "sharing group" is unavailable, an alert is sent via email:

Subject: XIQ Info Alarm: LacpAddPortToAggregator - ss0 -

Device: ss0  [10.20.0.100]  
Severity: Info
Message: extremeLacpAddPortToAggregator LACP Group "5:21", LACP Member port 6021 

 

How can we configure the switch and/or XIQ so that the message also includes the port description ("display string" in the SNMP IF alias)?

Thank you and kind regards!
Peter

In Site Engine under Administration -> Options -> Alarm -> Alarm Action Defaults you will see the Email Body default is that as you showed above. You can change this (impacting ALL alarms w/ email notifications) or you can do the Override Content for the specific alarm's Email Action and add $alarmsubcomponent likely to expose additional information. This comes from a trap, so if the trap does not contain that additional info it may be unavailable. Click See Keywords to see what variables are available.

Hi Robert,

Thank you very much for your answer.

I tested $alarmSubcomponent, but unfortunately this variable has no content. $trapArg* also doesn't have the desired information.

Is there perhaps a way to configure the format of the trap message on the switch?

Or is it possible to define a customer alarm that reports the status change of a LACP group member, including a port description?

Best regards!
