Mass Removing Items

[kargh]

I have a large number of servers (near 200 at the moment) and they have a large number of items being collected that are not important. Most of these items come from the item prototype -- such as, em1, em2, em3, em4, etc. Those interfaces are not in use and I'd like to disable the collection.

The problem I have is that, because they are generated from the prototype, I can't go into the main template and disable them. I don't want to specifically disable the prototype either, because some of the other interfaces are in use.

Is there a way to disable the unused/unneeded items for all the machines rather than one at a time when it comes to prototype items?

Any suggestions on how to best approach this?


Thanks!

When you are on the screen Items under any Host - take a look on third blue(?) thick line.
It has a word "FILTER" - try to click it and in the left side of screen remove HOST from the field "Host"
After that you will have the full list of Items in your configuration.

You'll have to disable them manually or using the API. Or you can also add a regex filter in the discovery rule of the template.

Yeah, shortly after I posted this, I found the info about setting filters in the LLD. I've done that and all is well!


Thanks!
