Device Groups from Port Names/Descriptions

[willhseitz]

Is is possible to create Device Groups from port names or descriptions?

For example:

• I have 2 devices: device1-server and device2-switch.
• I have 3 ports: port1-clientA, port2-clientA port3-clientB
• device1-server has port1-clientA
• device2-switch has port2-clientA and port3-clientB

I would like to display a group of devices that have ports with specific names, such as, "show me all devices with “clientA” in the port name. Here is an example rule I have created:

However, no devices are displayed from that device group. Is this possible?
Thanks!

P.S. I think these are related posts:

Possible bug with device grouping

When trying to group devices who ports ifname contains -sd i use the following pattern [image] it returns a devices that does not have -sd in the ifname. Below is the capture of the devices ifnames when discovering ifName.1 = wan1 ifName.2 = wan2 ifName.3 = dmz ifName.4 = internal7 ifName.5 = internal6 ifName.6 = modem ifName.7 = ssl.root ifName.8 = ADVPN-JHB-lte ifName.9 = wifi ifName.10 = lan ifName.11 = internal5 ifName.12 = internal4 ifName.13 = internal3 ifName.14 = intern…

Group by specific ports

Hi, I am trying to create a “device group” but for specific ports instead. We had a broadcast storm with about 200 switches up the trunk. Traced it back to a specific AP. Is there a way like in cacti to add just the trunk ports or specific ports the AP’s are directly plugged into on a single page? All our Cisco APs talk back to the WLC and I don’t think each AP can be SNMP walked. All the WLC ports on LibreNMS doesn’t show each AP port just the ports on the WLC.

Nevermind! The search term was actually under ports.ifAlias. I was only searching for ports.ifName and ports.ifDescr. Devices with certain port aliases are showing up in device groups now.
