Restrict Interface Internal collection

Hi All,

We need to disable interface internal collection for certain devices. Whether it is possible to do via any device group or device class or model?

Basically we don't want the interface utilization data to be polled for all devices.

Hi Issac,

There isn't a Device Group / Template option to disable select interfaces. It's possible to disable an interface through the REST API, so it could be scripted.

Hi Issac,

Yes, you can create a Template that will change the Interface Collection State to Disabled and apply it to a Device Group.
