Exclude interface from "Network Interfaces Discovery" trigger prototype

[Morten Rask Christensen]

Hello,

We have been using Zabbix for a couple of weeks now, being able to customize it to our needs so far.

But I can't seem to acomplish what I want to do with the template "Module Interfaces SNMPv2". We like the idea of having monitoring on the interfaces of our switches with the item prototype "Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Operational status", but the trigger prototype is a bit much.

We have descriptions on our interfaces, such as VoIP/User. Could it be possible to filter these out on the trigger prototype "Interface {#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS}): Link down"?

By default it says the following: "{$IFCONTROL:"{#IFNAME}"}=1 and ({Template Module Interfaces SNMPv2:net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}].last()}=2 and {Template Module Interfaces SNMPv2:net.if.status[ifOperStatus.{#SNMPINDEX}].diff()}=1)"

I'd imagine it would be something along the lines of #IFALIAS not equal to VoIP/User, but I wouldn't know how write that.

Can anyone help us out?

No suggestions? The prototype is quite good, we'd just like to be able to filter on the triggers.

I'm also working on this and would love a filter or regex answer
