Hi All

Im trying to find out if its possible to use IfName instead of ifDescr?

TP-Link TL-SG3109 switch

For some DUMB reason, all the ifDescr are being discovered as ‘Ethernet Interface’

ifDescr.1 = Ethernet Interface                                                                                                                                                                                       
ifDescr.2 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.3 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.4 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.5 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.6 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.7 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.8 = Ethernet Interface
ifDescr.9 = Ethernet Interface

So when you look down the list on Observium, I have 9 Ethernet Interface (not helpful)

I can put descriptions on each port and they get discovered by observium and show underneath the Ethernet Interface (but still not very helpful)

I have noticed however tho in the debug output of the poller, ifName are being found as the port numbers as listed on the web interface of the switch!

ifName.1 = g1
ifName.2 = g2
ifName.3 = g3
ifName.4 = g4
ifName.5 = g5
ifName.6 = g6
ifName.7 = g7
ifName.8 = g8
ifName.9 = g9

So is it possible to switch them round?

Attached is the debug output from the switch if its helpful to anyone :)
