Just want the physical network adapter from Windows client

[eVal]

Hello,

I'm struggeling for a while now to get just the physical network adapters from Windows clients in Zabbix.

The Network interface discovery rule is default, I just added some filters using regular expressions to kick out any virtual adapters. The list I end up with looks like this:



What goes wrong is that the Realtek USB FE Family Controller is listed 5 times, but only one is active (#5).

The reason of the other four adapters is driver updates etc. In Windows I deleted the old adapters but all five keep popping up in Zabbix.

I tried to use WMI to just get the physical network adapters but no luck here.
wmi.get[root\cimv2,Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapter Where PhysicalAdapter = 1]

When I use zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k net.if.list the list that appears had a column with and enabled/disabled/unknown value. Is it possible to filter on this, because ale the enabled adapters are valid.

I also have some questions about this, how do I let zabbix know which network adapteris in use, and then how to select it?



Are there any best practices for ”net.if.in[if,<mode>]“ commands?
