How to shorten too long interface names

[KateWalker]

Hello everyone!
I've made graphs for couple of HP switches, but interface names are too long
IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/1
IF-MIB::ifName.2 = STRING: Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2
IF-MIB::ifName.3 = STRING: Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/3
is it possible to make some kind of regexp in cacti that turn, for example, Bridge-Aggregation4 into BAGG4, GigabitEthernet1/0/25 into Gi1/0/25, Ten-GigabitEthernet1/0/2 into Te1/0/2, etc.?
P.S.: it's impossible to give short aliases to this interfaces, because it will disrupt work of some scripts.

Can you set the alias/description of the interface? That way you could use the alias instead of what you currently are?

No, I can't use alias or descr of interface instead interface's name.

I would suggest opening an issue on the github repo (https://github.com/cacti/cacti/issues) and I'll add a suggestion I have in mind for this.

I've added this template (it must take only 2 first letters of interface name and all last digits and "/"):
<ifNameHP>
<name>Name (IF-MIB)</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>VALUE/REGEXP:^[A-Za-z]{2}|[0-9/]{1,7}$</source>
<direction>input</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1</oid>
</ifNameHP>
` to interface.xm, set name and title "|\|host_description\| - Unicast Packets - \|query_ifNameHP\|" for In/Out Unicast Packets in Data Queries, but nothing nad happened - titles for graphs are all the same.

I've already submitted a ticket on github repo but no responses

Titles will remain the same until you update the suggested names. To do so, highlight the graphs you want to apply it to, and then click Apply Suggested names (or something similar .- not in front of my cacti right now)
