I’m working on description parsing to use with a custom port type i’ve created, but in some scenario’s i cant adjust the description of a specific interface on the device to be correctly reflected in LibreNMS. For example on a Windows interface i have a few network services behind a singe interface, so in LibreNMS the description parsing is including three different graphs for the same interface.
In the port settings inside LibreNMS the description box doesn’t appear to have any effect on description parsing from my testing which i was hoping would had overridden the true interface description. Anyone have any experience around this?
Hey Laf, see the attached two pictures. In this Windows server we have only a single interface, but in LibreNMS it see’s it as three separate interfaces. So when I do description parsing on this interface (SCCM-) it adds all three interfaces to the list of ports to graph of in the description parser. In my testing by going to the LibreNMS ‘device > Settings > Port Settings’ the Description box appears has no effect on description parsing, only what the device is reporting in the polling. If i change the descripion on LibreNMS GUI it still does description parsing to what its pulling from the device is what im finding. Is there any suggestions how i can exclude these other two interfaces from description parsing?
For the record your suggestion did the job and i now know how to ignore ports. I added the following to config.php which matches those specific interfaces from their interface description including some other interfaces that have Enhancer-0000.
