Files attached. Thanks for your help. We have about 100 new devices to rescan and having the alias appended into the service description is a requirement. Note. I renamed switch.inc.php to switch.inc.txt to upload successfully.

@brdr, You might not have the alias names associated with the switch interfaces. In the command line please run:

Code: Select all

snmpwalk SWITCH_IP -c COMMUNITY_STRING -v 2c |grep ifAlias
But first I'd check the permissions for mrtg.template file:

Code: Select all

chmod a+rwx mrtg.template
chown nagios:root mrtg.template
Also, please try to run the wizard, and select Monitor using --> Port's Description.

Let us know if that helps.

Ah... I was using Port Name for Monitoring Option. Where I should have been using Port Description.

Thank you!!
