Extracting attributes/tags from the interface alias name?

[aseques]

I am very interested into teaching my zabbix setup to diferentiate the interfaces on my cisco switches into user interfaces and server interfaces, basically I would like to get 24/7 alerts on the important interfaces while only monitoring and data collection from the user interfaces.
After asking on stackoverflow a user told me that I could use the description to add some information on interface type (https://networkengineering.stackexch...ystem-via-snmp)

So my idea would be:

• Add some description to the interfaces (such as server / user)
• Add the logic into zabbix to parse this description
• Modify the alert system to consider user ports non important

Any help is appreciated.

Using SNMP? Assume that VIP or USER labels are added to the interface descriptions on the router. Create two LLD rules. Both SNMP OID discovery[{#SNMPVALUE},IF-MIB::ifDescr,{#LABEL},OID_TO_DATE_WITH_LABEL] . and use "Filters" ({#LABEL} matches "^.*VIP.*$" for example) to select only the necessary interfaces
