Add host on LowLevelDiscovery

[kalich]

Is there any method to add host on low level discovery?

I have some wireless controllers (Aruba,Cisco)
And the only way to monitoring its access points, is via controller.
i want to add some discovery for oid AI-AP-MIB::aiAPName or AI-AP-MIB::aiAPMACAddress for Unique host name
Then add host, with IP of controller as SNMP Interface, add macro with value of {#SNMPINDEX} and finally add templates that require macro for monitoring AP's

The reason is that i have a lot of items on every AP and it multiplies on APs count. It becomes too hard to read overview on APs

Or its very complex, so I have to add feature request ticket?

Thanks

well i found some kind of solution
In LLD we can configure host template
But documentation says that is for vmware VM hosts

I added a host prototype with host name - {#SNMPINDEX} (in fact is client mac address, so it must be unique

and Display Name "Aruba AP Client {#SNMPVALUE}"

Than add to this host a template:
Because of items dont understand macro {HOST.HOST}, which is {#SNMPINDEX}, I added another discovery rule where regexp is {#SNMPINDEX} = {HOST.HOST}.* so we can discovery items only for this Client

could you elaborate a bit more on the rules you create ? And the SNMP used ? I am very interested in this approach as well, as I need individual AP triggers.

I need little more explanation too...

I want to create hosts from accesspoints discovered through wireless controller. APs are indexed by MAC. I want to automatilay create items in that hosts - for example number of connected clients (readed from controller too).
