SNMP Template

[JDNight]

I'm looking to do something with a zabbix template, and I'm not sure how to do it.

I want to build a template that uses SNMP to find the interface name (ifDescr) and then use that name with Ingress and Egress monitoring items.

Example: Interface name is WAN 2 and the data in / out would be named WAN 2 data in and WAN 2 data out.

I would imagine it would look something like this in the template:

{template:Firewall_ifdesrc1} Ingress

Not certain if this would be done with discovery or some other options to make this work.

You would want to use discovery rules. Use the SNMP Interfaces template as a model, it already discovers interfaces, you just need to change the item prototypes to match what you need.
