Hi,
I am using the Generic Cisco Device extension and I need to use the interface alias (ifAlias) as a placeholder in Automatic Tagging rules.
Support mentioned that if.alias is already an attribute, but after checking the API v2 (/entities/{id}), the property is clearly missing from the "properties" object. The only available properties are: detectedName, macAddress, and networkInterfaceSpeed.
Because it is not a formal property, I cannot use it as a placeholder (it shows as "Unknown").
Request:
Please update the Generic Cisco Device extension to properly map the SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.18 (ifAlias) as a first-class Entity Property. This is essential for:
- Using {Entity:Property:ifAlias} in Automatic Tagging.
- Filtering interfaces in DQL/Dashboards by their description.
- Improving management zone assignment in large scale networks.
