But according to the man page for oid_to_type, this will tell netmon to
discover "nodes with SNMP that have object IDs that do not match a specific
entry in the oid_to_type file" with an unmanaged state.
This is not what I want - I want to not discover nodes as unmanaged, but
rather not discover them at all. Also, I want to apply that to all nodes
that do not support any SNMP. So if I was doing it through oid_to_type, I
would think I'd use DEFAULT_IP rather than DEFAULT_SNMP, but I would not
know what attribute to give it.
Unless I am missing something.
I seems to me that what i want to acheive would be done via the seedfile,
with a setting like !DEFAULT_IP, to exclude devices from discovery that
don't return an OID. But I dont think DEFAULT_IP works in a seed file, and
I dont know what OID I'd put otherwise. How do I specify no OID in a
seedfile, I guess is the question...
