Can someone share what switch metrics they are recording (and find most useful). Just now, I’m only registering PING and Uptime (through SMNP). Also how are you handling parent/child relationships for the switches/ports etc? Basically if a switch is down, then I would only want to receive and alert regarding this and not anything else related to the port or device connected to the port.
