Hi all

With the new INTERFACES tag, is the follwoing correct to only show
bond0 and rhevm interfaces?  INTERFACES:"^(bond0|rhevm)"

If so, do I need to drop the other, existing interfaces?

Thanks

Looks OK, yes.

Any existing files are not removed, so yes - you'll have to manually delete the ~xymon/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ifstat.xyz.rrd files.

The easiest way of doing it - if you have many hosts - is probably to put in the INTERFACES tag, wait a day or two, then delete the ifstat*.rrd files that are no longer being updated. "find ... -mtime" is your friend here.


Regards,
Henrik
