auto-update new interfaces for all devices

[absey]

hi all and thanks to everyone for the huge effort.

Is there a script or an addon to auto-add new router interface or modules AND "auto-ignore" for uninstalled interfaces or modeules.

the situation is as follows:
I am dealing with a big environment where we have 1500+ CISCO routers and 1000+ switches. it is difficult to traverse them all through cacti and add or remove device interfaces one by one. it is ratehr absolutely easer to have a script or addon that deals with this and traces interface changes.

thanks in advance for those who will contribute.

Interesting behavior. Let me give it some thought. I currently have a utility in SVN called poller_reindex_hosts.php that will rebuild all data queries, but it does not add/delete graphs based upon the results. Very interesting.

I was just going to ask the same question. We are added new T1s almost on a daily basis and when those additions aren't communicated, we end up getting behind on getting all the lines monitored.

Should we expect anything soon.
Thanks

Still "thinking" about it. Furthermore, by my simply saying that I would "think" about it, does not infer that it would make it into the product. Any MAJOR new features like this will have to wait to 0.9 which is still a ways out, due to major database changes.

The idea of adding this to interface graphs is not such a difficult thing. However, the author of Cacti would not accept a solution that would not work generically for all data queries. Therefore, this feature will take much thought.

I will bring it up at our next conference call.
