Hello, I’m new here. I’m doing this topic for a problem encountered on a pppoe server that is mounted on a mikrotik.
give an example client x disconnects from pppoe server before port deletet from librenms wrote me the name of the client who disconnected but now it appears to me only that he disconnected not and the client’s name would have been very helpful in the field
I think it’s fairly well documented in other recent threads here that custom network port names set in the Edit->Port Settings page get overwritten when the device is next polled. (If not immediately then at some later point, perhaps during discovery polling)
The same applies to port names (“Description”) on Ethernet switch ports which also get overwritten with values from SNMP even though there are edit boxes to customise them and the custom value is displayed for a while until it gets overwritten with the SNMP provided name.
A few people have alraedy asked for a feature to lock custom port names but I guess it’s just a matter of someone having the time to sit down and implement such a feature. In other words its not a bug, just a missing feature.
