Title: Templates for Interfaces
Post by: gkaudewitz on December 14, 2012, 10:45:18 AM
Hello together,

it would be great to add teplates not only to nodes but to interfaces too.
This with a new macro like %ifindex%.
You can create or remove a set of DCIs that collect data individually for an interface, because its not always necessary or possible to monitor all interfaces of a networkcomponent or collect data for it.

Best regards

Georg

Hi!

You can use instance discovery for that. With instance discovery, you can create single DCI in template which will be expanded to one DCI per interface (you can also filter for what interfaces DCIs should be created). There are very basi description in user manual: http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/UM:Data_Collection#Instance_Discovery (http://wiki.netxms.org/wiki/UM:Data_Collection#Instance_Discovery) and video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSs9mP_0XK0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSs9mP_0XK0).

Best regards,
