SNMP Traffic Filtering/Control in Auto-Discovery
As a PRTG admin, I need to be able to control what types of SNMP Traffic sensors are auto-discovered. We should be able to templatize the SNMP Traffic criteria based on ifAdminStatus, ifOperStatus, ifSpeed, ifType, etc.
As things are today, if a device has thousands of virtual interfaces and only dozens of physical interfaces, and all I care about monitoring are physical interfaces, there's no way to have auto-discovery only discover and add physical interfaces. Other NMSes allow the admin to filter on ifType for this functionality. Same thing if we want to layer on business logic like "only enabled interfaces" which would be for a particular ifAdminStatus. Same for "only 10G interfaces" which would be ifSpeed...
The use cases go on and on for how helpful this can be with decluttering PRTG and improving performance.

This feature would be greatly helpful to be able to specify the monitored interfaces and streamline our workflow. Thank you!

This would be very helpful for our organization as well! This is a meaningful limitation for our PRTG use cases.
