  1. As a network engineer, I want an opt-in setting that makes auto-discovery create SNMP Traffic sensors for interfaces whose SNMP traffic counters are still at 0, so that every port in my intended interface range is monitored from the start and I can be alerted when a previously unused port comes up.

    Current behaviour:
    Auto-discovery creates an SNMP Traffic sensor for every interface whose SNMP traffic counter is above 0. Interfaces that have carried traffic since the device’s last restart are added even if they are currently admin-down or oper-down. Interfaces with counters still at 0 are not added, and…

    Background:
    Sometimes a device doesn't have a DNS name or SNMP name, and the device is named as the IP address, or the name is changed due to reallocation. It would be nice if there were a…
