Error description
==================================================== Severity: 2 Approver: gdc Compid: 5724C04LN Release: 6.2.3 Environment: The Monitoring Agent for Linux OS 6.2.3 Problem Description: when a network interface is active and its cable is disconnected Linux OS Agent is not able to correctly detect this status ====================================================
Local fix
No Workaround
Problem summary
The Linux OS agent does not detect a network interface status change due to a cable unplugged. The status of a network interface is reported by the Monitoring Agent for Linux OS in the Interface_Status attribute of the KLZ_Network group. The status of a properly working Network Interface is indicated as UP. When the network cable is unplugged the status is expected to become UP NOT RUNNING, but this is not occurring. The status remains UP even if operating system commands like "ifconfig" or "ip addr" show it as no longer running.
Problem conclusion
The status change is now being correctly detected and reported. The fix for this APAR will be contained in the following maintenance package: | Interim Fix | 6.2.3.1-TIV-ITM_LINUX-IF0002 | fix pack | 6.2.3-TIV-ITM-FP0004 | fix pack | 6.3.0-TIV-ITM-FP0002
