Apparently I misunderstood your intentions. I have several classes for
which I don't want to monitor(poll) any interfaces, ever. The interfaces
are *listed* for the devices but zenperfsnmp never tries to get any data
for them and no RRD files are created. I didn't bother with the actual
Monitor setting.
If you want to mix and match then yes, you'll have to leave the original
template intact and manipulate the Monitor setting one way or another.
