<![CDATA[Switch Interfaces - Template creation]]>Hi,
im totally new to netxms, played around a little bit, and im stuck now.

i want to use netxms primarly for monitoring switch traffic.

how can i achieve to automate the process of creating dci , and graphs?
we use only 3 switch models, so i thought about creating a template for each model.
But when i go to Data Collection Configuration - and create parameters with specific SNMP OID's. and i apply a switch to this template. it always tells me Unsupported.

also the oids change , depending on the configuration of the switch, sometimes interface description for ge-0/0/0 is identified by OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.514
on anohter switch, same model, it has OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2.503.

Any help is really appreciated

I advise running the newest released version - 2.0-RC2.

@user55116 said in Switch Interfaces - Template creation:

You could transform the DCI to negative values ...

I advise against doing that, just upgrade your NetXMS version and invert it on graph, rather than modifying the source data.

 i want to have grapsh with bits/s  in  bit/s out ,  and invert one value.
