"Removing such trivial things is quite contra to the design
goals of Observium."
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.
