Hi,

I monitor dozens of servers hosting virtual machines and find I get oddball alerts for virtual interfaces that I'd like to nuke in one smooth action through DMD.  Anyone handy with DMD that can come up with a script to find, print and disable monitoring for all interfaces in a particular class (in this case, /Server/Linux/) that have a MAC address of FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF?

If that's no doable for some reason, how about a transform that will drop events based on component name match?  Ideally this transform would match on the component name beggining with vif and not need a seperate entry for all the possibilities - vif12.1, vif2.5, etc. for example.

Thanks!

John

mac_string = "FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF"
      print dev.id, interface.id
      interface.monitor = False

Thanks but if I drop the action  -

      interface.monitor = False
      commit()

So I can verify it does what I want, it doesn't return any devices or interfaces, just comes back to dmd >>>

I tried to verify the interface.macaddress through Zope management but when I click properties on any interface, I just get an error page.

Other ideas?

Works just like it's supposed to now, thanks!
