Hi Les,
I don't know if you can stop netmon for a view minutes at night, but I can (we
don't have produktion time at night). So I stop and start netmon at 3:00 am.
After starting, netmon tries to discover the network. Setting the configuration
polling interval to 1 day ensures that it won't discover during the day.
Another possibility is to limit the "Number of Route Entries" in the snmp
configuration. This will also prevent high cpu usage on the cisco-boxes.

Our Cisco router guys are complaining about
NetView spiking the CPU on the routers during
the day with SNMP walks of the IP routing and
ARP tables.
We don't need to do discovery during the day, so
does anyone know of a way to turn discovery on/off
on a schedule. I can do cron and shell scripts and
the like, just don't see any netmon'ish flags that
turn discovery on and off.
We could turn discovery on/off manually, but we're
too lazy to want to do that. Besides, the operations
staff would probably forget to do it most of the time.
TIA,
