conditionally `discovery item prototypes

[iflann01]

I am using Zabbix 6.2 to monitor Juniper network devices. All Juniper devices have physical and logical interfaces.

xe-0/1/2 is a 10G physical and xe-0/1/2.10 is the logical component of the interface.

I want all the item prototypes executed on the discovery of the physical, but I only want to discover <bits sent>, <bits received> and <opertaional state> discovered on the logical component.

As far as I can see, the filter lists only apply to the discovery of the interface itself. If Zabbix discovers the interface, it executes all the item prototypes.

Does anybody know how I might control the execution of specific item prototypes or to discover them <disabed>?

Thanks.

I can think of two solutions:
1) Create an alias for the key of the discovery rule to enable you to have two discovery rules that do the same thing, but with different filter criteria: one rule filters for the physical interface, the other filters for the logical interface.
2) Look at low level discovery overrides which enable you to tweak which items/triggers get created on discovered items based on entity name, etc.
