Well after further investigation, it appears that this newer situation
is a horse of a different color.
So, I won't muddy the waters with the previous case, which I can't do
any diags on now.
In this case, the collections are defined by a simple rule based on its
selection name and the SNMP ifDescr. It contains a collection of
interfaces. The status source is Compound/Propagate and the collection
contains at least one down interface. The collection status is not
updated, constantly Green.
There is also a collection aggregated out of other with a collection:
rule.
Right now, it only appears to be happening with interface objects. But I
have to watch this for a little while longer. Could the collection
status propagation work differently than expected when things other than
nodes are contained therein? I could see how this could happen (not
that it should!).
