Creating two distinct net.if.discovery items

[ortal]

Hi,

How can I create two seperate instances of the same discovery key net.if.discovery:

- one that will create items for all interfaces, such as bytes in, etc.
- one that will create items only for physical interfaces (not for vlan interfac
es) in order to monitor link status.

Zabbix won't allow me to create two discoveries with the same key "net.if.discovery". Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Or.

You can create your own discovery rules.... any script that returns valid JSON to zabbix will work.

here is some examples

Hi ortal!

You can by using Alias in agent configuration file

Example:
new line in agent conf (search for Advanced parameters):

Alias=[B]if_discovery[/B]:net.if.discovery

restart agent process
and then create new discovery rule for the host.
As key use: if_discovery

You may use any name there as far as it differs from built in ones.
