Interface Description Parsing

Default Description Parser

Observium will recognise the usage of ports as customer ports, transit, etc for display purposes using a standard interface description format:

The text before the colon defines the type of service, recognised types are :

• Cust - Customer
• Transit - Transit link
• Peering - Peering link
• Core - Infrastructure link (non-customer)
• Server - Server link (non-customer)

Additional information can be added using different bracket types:

• () contains a note
• {} contains *your* circuit id
• [] contains the service type or speed

Cust: Example Customer [10Mbit] (T1 Telco Y CCID129031) {EXAMP0001}

Transit: Example Provider (AS65000)

Core: core.router01 FastEthernet0/0 (Telco X CCID023141)

Peering: Peering Exchange
