Set {#SNMPINDEX} range manually

[zvictorp]

Hi to everyone

I know that the discovery of network interfaces starts from walking some subtree and collecting the array of SNMP indices.
Say, if some switch has 28 ports the internal macros {#SNMPINDEX} will consequentially put the values from 1 to 28 to item prototypes.
Is it possible to use some manually created array of indices in the form of a custom macros, like {#MYCUSTOMINDEX}, and then use it instead of {#SNMPINDEX}?

The main goal is to get values from a specific port range (24-28, for example), rather than walking through the whole subtree.

Thank you.

I found that 'TEST' button does not apply filtering.

Furthermore, I decided to filter by an interface type rather than by the index number.
And finally, I got the result I wanted.

Thank you to everyone who paid attention to my post.

Hi, you could try use REGEX in LLD filter, like:

I created the following macros for the test template



And then set the filter



However, it returns a list of all interfaces.

Could you paste the filter you created?
