<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">You need to modify your if-filter option.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:8.0pt">--if-filter=(($if_is_ethernet || $if_is_ciscovlan) && $if_admin && $if_oper)"<br>
</span>
<div><br>
To exclude interfaces with a description starting NDE_, do something like:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size:8.0pt">--if-filter=(($if_is_ethernet || $if_is_ciscovlan) && $if_admin && $if_oper && ($if_description !~ /^NDE_/))"</span><br>
<br>
There are a number of other variables available for testing in the filter. The filter should be a Perl code snippet that evaluates to true/false.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">All,</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">We are running MRTG and every time we run it the script I am running renders all of the interfaces I WANT it to, but also a couple which I don’t want. I am hoping someone can tell me how to alter my current cfgmaker script to automatically
ignore these interfaces. My current script looks like this:<br>
<br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt">perl cfgmaker --ifdesc=alias --global WriteExpires:Yes --global "RunAsDaemon: yes" --global "options[_]: growright,bits" --global "WorkDir: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mrtg" --output mrtg.cfg --subdirs=HOSTNAME --snmp-options=:::::2
"--if-filter=(($if_is_ethernet || $if_is_ciscovlan) && $if_admin && $if_oper)" <a href="mailto:XXXXXXXX@##.##.##.##" target="_blank">
XXXXXXXX@##.##.##.##</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I would like to do is put a filter in which automatically ignores interfaces with a DESCRIPTION like NDE_##. Can anyone tell me what filter expression I could add to our cfgmaker script to ignore these automatically instead of having
to comment them out of the config file after creation?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
