That sounds like the interface field.
"Writing a discovery plugin" section mentions you need to make sure you
return at least interface, admin and oper fields. I suspect you are
not returning interface field
function poller_mypoller()
{
return array('interface'=>'Description', 'oper'=>'up', 'admin'=>'up');
}

The interface name should be something fixed, because your poller should
be checking against this name to see if interfaces appear or disappear.
Foundry load balancers, you give the virtual and real hosts names? Or is
that Alteon? Anyway, if it isnt names the interface.interface field
should either be IP address or the server's index field. The important
point is that interface.interface should be something unique, something
that says THIS ONE.
The description, which is a interface type field, can be editable. Oh,
and think about what you want your little "interface boxes" to look
like. Remember it is
interface.interface
interface.user
interface.description1, interface.description2,...
Also interface.interface can be shortened, if possible, so if you know
your virtual and real servers by their IDs, then makeit something like
VirtualServer1 which, I think, will shorten down to V1.
I'm pretty sure I made the first Description field the IP address for
Real and Virtual Servers and IP address:port for the Real/Virtual Ports.
