How can I use field names under multi-edit of SNMP sensor names?

Votes:

0

I have multiple SNMP sensors that were created using the default Port Name Template settings. When I tried to rename multiple sensors under Muti-Edit mode, the field names (like [ifname] and [ifalias]) does not work and are treated like regular text. Essentially renaming all the SNMP sensors to have the same name.

How can we edit the sensor names in Multi-Edit mode and still have unique identifiers?

Hello,
Using field names such as "[ifname]" is only possible within the Port Name Template settings in the SNMP Compatibility Options of the parent device. The sensor name itself does not support placeholders and is treated like regular text by design.
