Unwanted interface mrtg traffic on cisco device

Post by absarcompass »

Hi Team,
I am trying to add a cisco Bras in nagiosXi using config wizard and it is taking ages to read all sub interface because it has more than thousand user base sub interfaces.
I have come across this doc https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=510 and wondering if there is a way that allow cfgmaker to poll data for limited type of sub interfaces instead of editing mrtg cfg file by commenting out the interfaces not required that too depends if config wizard allow me to add bandwidth monitoring on main interface as it is sticking on it.
I have this memory of going through such situation previously but couldn't find any support thread of sort.
NagiosXI version is 5.4.10

Cheers

Are you saying it is getting stuck running the wizard?

If so, you likely need to increase the max_execution_time in /etc/php.ini to something longer like 90.

Additionally, my past experience is that with large switches/routers with many interfaces, you also will want to add the following the the same file

Code: Select all

max_input_vars=20000
then restart httpd

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
