Q: I am working on figuring out how to move us from the older 'snmp64-If_' datasource to the new, preferred 'SNMP_Netowork_Interfaces'. Does the interface.description.alert_enable property still operate the same?
Answer: Here's the answer I got from our monitoring engineering group:
"The newer one (SNMP_Network_Interfaces) doesn’t have alerts built in yet; those are to be introduced later. The idea is to have them run in parallel and then when we’re comfortable we’ve worked out all of the kinks, move over the alerting and begin deprecation of the old one."
Sounds like you might have gone ahead and set some thresholds in the newer version. But based on what I found out, the alert_enable property is not yet accounted for in the new version. You might want to hold off on switching over for the time being, but let me put in a follow up with the monitoring engineers to see if they have plans to address that any time in the near future!
