How to exclude some network interfaces?

Hi,
I deployed Observium over the weekend to try out. Reading through documents, I figured out how to exclude specific interface types. However trying to figure out how to exclude a specific interface? E.g. The list might be Fa0/30, Fa0/37, Gig0/9, Gig0/42. No contiguous interface.
Thanks in advance, Sam

This is contra to the design ethos of Observium, thus there is no simple way to do this.
Thanks, adam.

Disable and Ignore have to do with Polling and Alerting respectively. It will still inventory and make the empty RRD file.
Perhaps if there were a way to exclude interfaces from discovery based on ifDescription... But as Adam indicates, Observium is supposed to find and graph everything. Which is what makes it so awesome :)

Isn't disable/ignore exist for this purpose? :)
