We have about 150 client sites that we would like to be able to monitor via SNMP. The client sites have multiple WAN interfaces on a router (2-6) for bandwidth and redundancy. The SNMP interface of the device allows checking of statistics on each interface (about 12-18 items per interface).

   * What we would like to do is setup each site as its own host and
     then monitor:
   * Ping for each interface (already working in nagios)
   * Each interfaces set of snmp information (working but cumbersome)
   * Mrtg -- (that will come next)


Currently, I have defined each snmp service separately as a template (register 0) and then as I define each host, I have to copy/paste each group of snmp checks for as many interfaces as there are to be monitored.

My question is -- is there a way to enumerate the interfaces either through SNMP (there is an OID that tells how many interfaces are defined on the router) or through a script? (like snmpwalk?) Ultimately, it would be easier if nagios could determine the number of defined interfaces and enumerate the OIDs that we have defined and want to monitor. If not -- if there was a way to define interfaces in groups that allowed the interfaces to be quickly defined for each host.

I have tried the nagios documentation on service groups/host groups/etc but it is still cumbersome. It also doesn't let me see each host and its associated interfaces as a single group unless I define each/every one for that host.

Anyone run into this and/or can lend some friendly advice -- It would be greatly appreciated.
