About Alarm Source and Link Color Changing

Hi, Victor:
   I have a suggestion for java console:

    I set a data collection to collect the in/out flow of a certain port in a switch, and when the flow exceeded the threshold value defined, an alarm of the swith (not the port)  will arise, and the link line between the swichs will change color to notice the network manager.
    The question is:  as the color changing condition is based on the object's status(object is the swith, not the port), so if I defined many collection actions and threshold value, then the swith's status will change by many conditions(this or that alarm), so the color of the link will not change exactly.
    How to settle this problem? I think,  if the port can arise alarm itself as the swith, then the color changing condition can be set to "based on the port's status", the color changing of a link line will also be more exactly.
    I hope this useful function will be considerd by you and your team!

    Best wishes!

Hi,

Seems like we're looking for the same thing:

The change of color/icon is due to an alarm being generated on the switch. If you make a category for those alarms, you could hide the other alarms for the network admin, so he only sees information useful to him.
