This is probably because netsnmp had corrupted its cache, as it often does.
Changing the variable probably changed the exact path, which would have kicked the cache to rebuild.
Some day netsnmp will fix this bug, but until then, when this happens you need to track down the cache files and remove them. (They used to be in the mibdir, but later versions put them I. /var somewhere because screw users, right?)

showed that the interface was being "ignored" due to a matching string
of: *lp0* which I'm guessing is defaulted to a unix printer port?
So a quick udev rule changing the name to "wifi0" and now it shows up.
The only thing left now is to figure out why my Cisco flash storage
graphs are disappearing :-S
Though I have Cisco sensors and CPU activated in SNMP those graphs
vanished too?? I managed to get them back by adding:
$config['mib_dir'] = $config['install_dir'] . "/mibs";
to the config.php file <- though not sure if it has any effect however,
though the re-appeared after that {coincidence or actual parameter parsed?}

Hi,
I'm trying to get one of my network interfaces to appear in Observium
but for some strange reason it is being marked as "ignored"?
In my config.php I haven't included any statements to ignore any
devices and the poll time for this particular machine is only a few
seconds considering that it's connection to the network is via wifi.
The output of #sudo -u www ./discovery.php -h <host> -f shows:

Observium is seeing the interface but just ignoring it? In the UI I
don't see anywhere to view 'ignored' ports; I only see "alerts",
"down" and "deleted".
The port does however, show up under the Inventory section.
Does anyone have any idea on how to make this interface not be 'ignored'?
After 2 days of searching for an answer I can only conclude that
perhaps I need to make this change on the actual MySQL DB itself
though I do not know the location of the 'ignore' section of
ports/interfaces <- that and this is probably a really bad way of
doing things too....!
Many Thanks.
