How to report on ALL interfaces in Orion (even the unmanaged/unmonitored interfaces)

mugbukdotcom3

When going to a node's 'list resources' page, some interfaces are checked off, and some are not checked. I don't know the technical term for the ones that are not checked but I will call them unmonitored and the ones that are checked off monitored (let me know if there is another term for these).

We have some users that want to report on all interfaces, even including the unmonitored interfaces.However, all reports that we can create only seem to include monitored interfaces. Does anyone know of a reporting option to include these interfaces? Just the names of them is fine. My intuition tells me that the names of the unmonitored interfaces should be in the database somewhere, since the names of the unmonitored interfaces have to pop up when you click 'list resources'.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

The only way to achieve this is to enable monitoring of the interfaces.

You could, if you don't want to actually alert on them, utilise a custom property called, for example, ALERT and the options are Yes or No.Then in your alerting logic you would have to ensure any interface based alert includes a line of "IF ALERT = Yes" as an AND statement alongside your actual logic.

But as @neomatrix1217 points out every interface utilises one of your interface licenses, and if these are limited then you could soon hit your limit.
