RHEL 7,8,9
Steps to reproduce:
- Use the latest "Linux by zabbix agent (active)" template
- Have kvm based vms running on the host
- Have vnet interfaces discovered
- Verify the link speed
Result:
Kernel always reports link speed of 10mbit for any vnet* devices related to kvm virtual machines, so the speed related trigger is fired.
Someone reported this on the forum:
https://www.zabbix.com/forum/zabbix-help/359479-centos-kvm-incorrect-speed-for-vnet-interfaces
See:
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/65061
Quote: "vnet interfaces are tap devices. The 10Mbps is just a cosmetic figure in a tap device's virtual firmware. This speed has no bearing on the speed of a guest's virtual device whatsoever."
Expected:
vnet devices should likely be excluded in the default regex for {$NET.IF.IFNAME.NOT_MATCHES}
