I see Events for Edge Interface Down and Link Dead. They sound the same is there a difference. I couldn't find any documentation about it.

Hi,

I think "Edge Interface Down" is physical NIC down and "Link Dead" is WAN Setting = DMPO Tunnel down.

"Link Dead" description appears when you hover your mouse over the information icon on the alert settings.

Hello @khirom ,

What is astonishing is the fact that VMware has yet to publish a document describing the series of messages we see in the Events tab.

I know for sure that other vendors (Cisco for example) provide extensive and well prepared documents that covers every single parameter in detail

@cblavend , As @khirom stated, the "Edge Interface Down" event would be triggered when the interface goes down physically.

However, the "LINK DEAD" event would be triggered only on "WAN Overlay" enabled interfaces when ALL the paths(not a single path should be alive) on that interface go down.
