Hi,

 haha, funny case :)

Probably you can create port Group with such attribute, and see in this group periodically (manually).

Another hack,
create port alert with such attribute and metric ifOperStatus match *
ie:



And I also not sure, that it's time critical :)

Do you have any other suggestion how we can monitor with Observium if the port descriptions are matching the correct syntax? :/

You are trying to use attributes as metrics, don't do that.

ifAlias can't (currently) be used as an alerting metric.

we could add it, but its perhaps better to just use the attribute in the association.
