Aha, that looks like what I am looking for. I think I looked everywhere
but the zProperties page when I was looking for this information. I'll
shut up now and RTFM. :)
Thanks for the help.

P.S. For anybody else that comes across this thread looking for this
info, zInterfaceMapIgnoreNames suppresses interface discovery

I think it is easy - just use the following zproperties -
zLocalInterfaceNames (to skip some interfaces) and
zRouteMapCollectOnlyLocal.

I'm experimenting with Zenoss using the 2.1.92 stack installer, and
I've run into a couple of issues with the device modeling:
The first problem is that some of the routers I'd like to monitor have
full BGP routing tables. Adding these devices to Zenoss results in
the creation of a network object for every route in the table
(~250,000). I don't need a network object for every route in
existence, and having that many networks show up in Zenoss makes
browsing by network impractical.
The second problem is that some of my other routers have hundreds of
interfaces that I don't need to monitor because they're PPP links that
are expected to go up and down regularly. I can disable the
monitoring using zendmd (script below in case anybody came across this
post looking for that information), but I would prefer to keep those
interfaces from being added to the system.
Is there a way to hook into the modeling process and suppress the
addition of routes and interfaces? If not, then which file(s) would I
want to start in if I wanted to look into adding this as a feature?
Thanks,
