How do I exclude some interfaces from being monitored while adding a network?

While adding a network for monitoring, you are allowed to create a network discovery rule that lets you set up interface filters. Here, you are allowed to define the following parameters:

  1. Interface type
  2. Admin state (Up, Down, Testing)
  3. Operational state (Up, Down, Testing, Dormant, Unknown)

While the network/device is being discovered and added, the interfaces that comply with the network discovery rule will automatically be added for monitoring. You can create a new rule every time you add a network or device or select from any of the existing ones. This way, you can choose to monitor only the interfaces that are necessary and exclude others.


To add the interfaces that do not conform to the discovery rule selected, you can use the Rediscover Interfaces option. For this, you've to log in to your Site24x7 client and navigate to Network. Click on the hamburger icon next to the desired device and click Rediscover Interfaces.

You can also change the discovery rule associated with a monitor in order to discover more interfaces. You can do this by clicking Edit in the menu that appears from clicking the hamburger icon, mentioned above.
