I have a number of power meters from tripplite and obviously they don't have network statistics for traffic. So, I get the attached errors for the ports graphs on the overview page and when I click on the ports, where it takes you to the graphs of all the traffic.
I want to be able to disable the display of this, since everything else is correct. Is there an element in code somewhere that I can just comment that out or something?

Hi,
Why is it obvious they don't have network statistics? Are you polling them through the cloud?
From your bizarrely small screenshot it looks like 2 interfaces are detected though.

Again, this image is from the Overview Page: [cid:image001.png@01CEC66D.53A832F0] This is one of the two interfaces that you refer: [cid:image002.png@01CEC66D.53A832F0] When I click on the graph from the main overview page, I get this: [cid:image003.png@01CEC66D.53A832F0]
The server that is polling them is in the same rack as the power meters. I hope these images are large enough.

That's a strange IP and ifType for an interface called eth0...
What is the other one?
And why the annoyingly limited screenshots?

I attached the other. What is odd is that the Loopback is the actual interface! And it is showing eth0 as the loopback! I attached a bigger image.

Yeah, this is a bug with the sensor's software.
We exclude loopback, virtual and sub interfaces from the aggregate graph to try to maintain some amount of relevance. Because both of your interfaces are being reported as loopback, it's ignoring them both, thus it errors about trying to draw a graph with no interfaces.

Yeah, I don't mind the bug. Is there a way to exclude that view for these devices?

Not at the moment, there's no customization at all for the Overview page.
The modules on there are dynamically include or excluded based on the entities existing.
You could, I suppose, remove the ports from the database and disable the ports poller/discovery modules so that they're never rediscovered :)

Do we skip the device overview traffic graph if there are no interfaces? I'm not sure about that.

We do, in the ports.inc.php itself.
