You can't. This is directly contra to the design ethos of Observium.On 2013-06-19 23:17, Joe Hoh wrote:
Adam,
You are right - I have confused ifAlias with ifDescr.
Let's say that I have 1,000 Ethernet ports on Access Switches that are
for desktop/laptop connections. These are going to be up/down
randomly and I don't care. I don't want to investigate bandwidth or
errors on them individually ALL of the time. I only want to do this
when I am investigating a problem.
I cannot Admin Down these interfaces - users need to use them
I don't want to gather stats on them - because of storage/overhead/long polling
I don't want to manage ifAliases on them - what would I name them -
users move and come and go all of the time.
I want to include uplinks and crosslinks and the device details only -
not the end-user ports.
I just want to exclude them from Observium as 'Ignored'
How can I do that?
If you only want to monitor 2 ports per switch, use Cacti.
adam.
