I have same problem.

Please is anyone able to automatically get interface names to item/trigger/graph name instead of snmp index number? We really need that :-) Actual implementation of this feature is not usable on large networks :-/

Thanks a lot.

Hi.
I just followed official documentation and experimented a little while on it.
- First i created new template for mikrotik devices (they're all similar to each other and have from 1 to 9 ethernet ports + 1 to 5 wireless card ports)
- Then in this template i created new discovery rule, taken straight from docs: http://www.zabbix.com/documentation/...evel_discovery - par 3.3 - "Discovery of SNMP OID's".
- After that (and like 1-2 mins of waiting) zabbix discovered all interfaces on my MT device - be it eth or wlan or even vlan - and named them.. well, whatever.
- then i added two item prototypes (just like the docs show) - make sure it's in the discovery rule you just created using ifDesc!
- then i added one graph prototypes, with 'Graph for {#SNMPVALUE}' as it's name, again, in the same discovery rule.

That worked flawlessly and now it's just matter of adding new host and linking MT template to it, then waiting 3-5 mins and all the graphs i need are there...

If You still have trouble with it, please write, i'll try to add some screenshots.

Yes I know about this way, but problem is, that you are limited to - as you wrote:
"make sure it's in the discovery rule you just created using ifDesc"

I need to run discovery over ifAlias OID.

I tryed explaint it here:

We’ll be back soon!
