Disable port/interface detection w/Autodiscovery Template

Votes:

0

I have some devices that have 7 interfaces, but I'm only interested in tracking one snmp interface. I have my template made up the way I want it to be for future devices, but when I apply the autodiscovery with template, I end up getting all those extra sensors for the ports I don't need or want.

How can I disable these particular sensor discoveries? Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,

The auto-discovery with a template will always perform a meta scan for all existing interfaces and will add an SNMP Traffic Sensor for each interface with a traffic counter higher than zero.

You can use the Multi Edit Feature to speed up the process of deleting the additional sensors after the initial discovery.

Best regards
