Currently, if you want to monitor several network interfaces, or several disk partitions, you need to create multiple items, one for each interface or partition, but otherwise almost identical. Moreover, you need to create multiple triggers, one for each item you want to be warned about.

This is a lot of duplicated configuration, clutter in the host or template entries, etc. It would be great to be able to let Items or Triggers to operate on lists. That way the item "Incoming network traffic on interface $$", could then be be told to act on "eth0 eth1 eth4".

(Sorry if this request is duplicate, i couldn't find an existing request although i would think many people would love this...)
