    Monitoring Network bandwidth via discovered IPs- (Windows Agents)

    We have about 100 Windows PCs that we want to monitor network traffic, uptime, etc on. I have a script that deploys the Zabbix agent remotely and that works fine. The PCs are discovered and get linked to my custom Windows template I've made. However I can't get interface statistics to work the way I want. Using the default templates network discovery I get too many interfaces that have no traffic that are no use to us and clutter up the graphs and latest data lists. I'd much rather just monitor via the IP address rather than the interface.

    In my template I try to set up a item with the key
    net.if.in[{#HOST.IP}]
    but I get an error that says could not obtain network interface information when a host gets added to the template. I can change the item on the host to the IP and it works but not when I use the macro

    Am I entering the macro into the key incorrectly? It is not feasible for me to manually change the agent config or manually change the item key for each host.
Working...
