Ok not sure what I am doing wrong here - there has to be a way to remove these unwanted nics.
So you can see info here
I have this in my config.php
// bad interfaces $config['bad_if'][] = "NC-8100w";
I have gone into the database directly and marked the interfaces deleted. But they just get readded, delete gets removed - see the event log in the above screenshots.
So I have turned off discovery for the device, and gone into the database and deleted the records of the intefaces. Which works for a bit - but then they show up again. This is a brother HL-3170cdw printer.. I don't know how I would delete the interface on the device directly.
How do I remove these wireless interfaces from what observium shows. This printer will never use the wireless interfaces it has. So how do I remove them from observium showing them?
You would think if I disable discovery of ports, and then delete them from the database they would never get put back.. But clearly they do - is there some step I am missing?
If you need any other info just please ask.
TIA
figured it out.. the bad_if needs to be all lowercase!! Arrrgghh, now they go away and I can purge them.

Why not just ignore them so you aren’t alerted but can see graphs if need be?

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..

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.

Hi,
Thanks for your ever so kindly worded, productive e-mail, as usual.
Reading all your posts, It sure looks like you are not our target audience. Deleting ports makes no sense, having a web interface button for it makes even less sense.
You could, perhaps, remove yourself from this antiquated mailing list, and join our superduper modern forum, which we of course have, like all great monitoring products: http://tinyurl.com/observiumforum

With no help from you or anyone on the list, I have it worked out while providing the info back on how it was accomplished.. Which you would think would be welcome to a list for users of product to help each other..
I would really love to hear why not listing the nonsense windows sends back via snmp makes no sense? Really you want interfaces listed showing nothing and just taking up space? Windows show 19 interfaces via snmp - while there is actually 1 that is in use and showing data. Listing them all is just beyond stupid!!

Our target market is service providers and telcos monitoring primarily carrier-grade network devices and the occasional server. Cisco is by far our most commonly monitored device.
In such environments it's anathema to purposefully remove information, because everything is useful. We automate as much as possible because humans forget to add things to their monitoring system. We make it purposefully difficult to remove things because there are rarely instances where you'd want to do that in an service provider environment.
You'll also find that people who work at SPs rarely have time to micro-manage their monitoring system, thus our approach of "graph everything, look at it if you need it".
We take the approach that as default we don't want to ignore too much, but we certainly provide methods to do it in the config. Users with large windows environments can easily mask the commonly existing interface types they don't want to see either by ifDescr or ifType.

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.

Yes, one must really ask:
Why do you care?
Removing such trivial things is quite contra to the design goals of Observium.
