Hi people!.

In the manual net.if.in[<if>,<mode>]
I try to use this, but I have don´t sucess

Anybody have do this works?

OBS: Sorry My english is suck!

EDIT. I can return network trafic using net.if.in[ip_server,<mode>], but this don´t be usefull with templates..
Any ideia?

I found a way to work.
net.if.in[{IPADDRESS},bytes]

Only work in local network

You can also use the interface name instead of using the IP.

Another piece of that functionality is the use of net.if.list - if you create this item at the template level for Windows, it will return a list of all installed interfaces along with the IP for them and whether they are enabled or disabled. See screenshot #1 below

Then, you can return that list and put it into a graph for your hosts for easy reference. See screenshot #2 below.

Lastly, you could create a macro at the template level and use that for your hosts. In my opinion, that would really only be beneficial if you happened to have a lot of hosts that used the exact same interface name. That doesn't seem to be the case in our environment.

You would do something like: net.if.in[{$IP},bytes] provided that is how you set up the macro.
