I want to say thanks for such a productive link -- maybe that product has better support ;)
http://tinyurl.com/sweetthankyou
With no help from you or anyone on the list, I have it worked out while providing the info back on how it was accomplished.. Which you would think would be welcome to a list for users of product to help each other..
I would really love to hear why not listing the nonsense windows sends back via snmp makes no sense? Really you want interfaces listed showing nothing and just taking up space? Windows show 19 interfaces via snmp - while there is actually 1 that is in use and showing data. Listing them all is just beyond stupid!!

Hi,
Thanks for your ever so kindly worded, productive e-mail, as usual.
Reading all your posts, It sure looks like you are not our target audience. Deleting ports makes no sense, having a web interface button for it makes even less sense.
You could, perhaps, remove yourself from this antiquated mailing list, and join our superduper modern forum, which we of course have, like all great monitoring products: http://tinyurl.com/observiumforum
Kind regards, Tom

What? Really?? So I need to see 19 interfaces for my windows machine because I see crap like this in its interface list? Because windows snmp is pretty much broken..
Name/OID: ifDescr.1; Value (OctetString): Software Loopback Interface 1 Name/OID: ifDescr.2; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (SSTP) Name/OID: ifDescr.3; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (L2TP) Name/OID: ifDescr.4; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (PPTP) Name/OID: ifDescr.5; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (PPPOE) Name/OID: ifDescr.6; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (IPv6) Name/OID: ifDescr.7; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (Network Monitor) Name/OID: ifDescr.8; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (IP) Name/OID: ifDescr.9; Value (OctetString): RAS Async Adapter Name/OID: ifDescr.10; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (IKEv2) Name/OID: ifDescr.11; Value (OctetString): Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet Name/OID: ifDescr.12; Value (OctetString): DW1501 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card Name/OID: ifDescr.14; Value (OctetString): TAP-Windows Adapter V9 Name/OID: ifDescr.15; Value (OctetString): Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet-QoS Packet Scheduler-0000 Name/OID: ifDescr.16; Value (OctetString): Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet-WFP LightWeight Filter-0000 Name/OID: ifDescr.17; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (IPv6)-QoS Packet Scheduler-0000 Name/OID: ifDescr.18; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (IP)-QoS Packet Scheduler-0000 Name/OID: ifDescr.19; Value (OctetString): WAN Miniport (Network Monitor)-QoS Packet Scheduler-0000
So I got them removed, once I figured out you have to use lowercase. Even though the documentation on the observium site shows "STRING" with no mention of case, etc.
$config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (sstp)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (l2tp)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (pptp)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (pppoe)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (ipv6)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (network monitor)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (ip)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "wan miniport (ikev2)"; $config['bad_if'][] = "tap-windows adapter v9"; $config['bad_if'][] = "broadcom netlink (tm) gigabit ethernet-wfp lightweight filter-0000"; $config['bad_if'][] = "software loopback interface 1"; $config['bad_if'][] = "lo"; $config['bad_if'][] = "vmxnet3 ethernet adapter-wfp lightweight filter-0000";
What should be trivial is the way to delete this noise.. Why can there not be a simple delete interface button? I saw some thread mention security - come on give me a break, only the ADMIN of observium would have access to do it - so its BS that it would be security issue to delete interfaces you don't want to track.
So its looking much cleaner now.. Noise is gone.. I can understand leaving an interface that may be used on and off, etc. Like my raspberry pi I have both the wired and the wifi interface - even though wired is currently not being used. But I sure don't need wan miniport (pppoe) on my windows machine that is only used as file server.
If there was actual forums I would be happy to create a guide, but seems only antiquated mailing lists? How about a wiki for users to help maintain/improve documentation/howto's, etc. But can not seem to find such basic tools - but this project has been in the works for 7 years if I read the info I found correctly.

Yes, one must really ask:
Why do you care?
