Virtual Switch Not Rule Machine Not Working

I have a virtual switch set up in rule machine to trigger another virtual switch. Looking at the logs, rule machine is trigger, but it doesn't run. I've confirmed I do not have any conditionals set up. Any ideas?

Can you post the rule? If possible, please post the logs too.

Yeah sorry since I am new to this, it wouldn't let me post it.



The problem is that you are using "digital switch" instead of just plain "switch" as your trigger. (Virtual switches are inherently always digital, so there is no need to distinguish in any case; some real-world devices/drivers can distinguish physical from digital events, though not always reliably.) You would see "digital" under the "Type" column in that last screenshot (the events table) if this information were provided as part of the event.

That worked, thanks! Last night I changed the "type" of the virtual switch and I think I corrupted it. It would turn off then on, then off, then on, etc. I deleted them and started fresh and it worked. Thanks again for your help!

Ahh where I was trying to get to with you on Facebook. Glad you got it solved.
