Monitor Only some Switch ports

[medharrak]

Hi,
I need to monitor a lot of HP switches, to reduce the charge I wanted just to monitor Uplink ports, The issue is that Zabbix monitor all the interfaces , and I need for each Switch to enter and disable the item for other ports.
Is there any way how to disable them for all at once , or at least create a based model and replicated for the other switches ( clone for example)??
Thank you

Hi, medharrak

You can disable items and triggers in the templates, it's the easiest option. Equipment must be identical with the same settings or custom templates for each type of hardware.
Also you could use LLD discovery with SNMP.

You can use my template or at least peak on it how it implement something like this

Hi,
I had the same problem with my Brocade switches, but when I use the vendor specific MIB/OIDs I can filter for LWL which is mostly an uplink, maybe its an option for you to check the vendo-mib
