The switch change alerts have now been pretty much useless for the last 1-2 years, can they be fixed, or at least not show incorrect information? Two examples below:
One change made, just missing some information:
Switch ports
- XXXXXX Unit 3 (RHS) / 25 was changed by [me] (my email).
- Old value:
- Name: **NOT IN USE**
- Port: disabled
- Type: trunk
- Native VLAN: [drop VLAN]
- New value:
In actual fact the port was enabled, set to access mode and a new untagged VLAN set.
Here is an example that is just wrong where more than one change was made in an interval:
Switch ports
- Test Lab / 1 was changed by [my team] (my team email).
- Old value:
- Name: CCTV (legacy)
- VLAN: [legacy CCTV VLAN]
- New value:
- Allowed VLANs: [17 numbered VLANs]
In this case my team member did change the name and VLAN on port 1, but just to a new name and access VLAN, not to a trunk as is alluded to in the New Value.
I changed port 9 on the switch to include 3 additional VLANs (from 14 to 17), so the information is correct when taken line by line, but the actual email is completely nonsensical!
