Is there a way to make unconnected (but "admin up") interfaces not show as critical?

Victor Kirhenshtein

You can set them to "unmanaged" state (right click -> select "Unmanage").

That impacts only the up/down status?

Victor Kirhenshtein

Setting interface to "unmanaged" state means that it's status is not of any interest, and effectively excludes interface from status polls. Status of unmanaged interface will never change unless it will be returned to "managed" state. However, it does not affect data collection related to this interface, so if you, for example, has DCI for traffic on this interface, it will continue to collect data.

Best regards,
