Hi all, we have a very large ignition system configured that we use to monitor a large array of network infrastructure. Included in this is a large number of Cisco network switches in which we monitor their CPUs, memory, environmentals and the actual interfaces.
With regards to the interfaces one of the items we would like to monitor and add alarms for is when there is a detection of In and Out errors. We have been able to set this up on our UDT for interfaces and it appears to work however the main issue is that simply because of the number of interfaces we have it takes our already large system of 35k total alarms up to around 110k configured alarms 
. This is ultimately causing issues with our alarm status table as the volume is just soo significant to process
As such, I am trying to come up with a better way to “Roll up” this alarming to significantly reduce the number of alarms configured. We don’t specifically need to know which interface on a switch is the issue but rather just if a given network switch is experiencing issues. My question is, for these in/out error counts we have created on an interface UDT, is there any dynamic/elegant way to instead sum these values in to a different single UDT structure and then just alarm on that one value? (hopefully the screenshot gives an idea of what I am trying to achieve)
It is important to note that from one switch to the next, the number of interfaces can vary and they aren’t necessarily in a perfect numerical order (e.g. interface1 to interface10)
If we can find a nice way to achieve this, I hope to be able to reduce the additional alarm count from the more than 60k to a mere couple thousand new alarms.
