Hi Sean,
First question is "Do you want to discover all 6000 but only monitor
some, OR, do you only want to discover a small subset?"
If the latter, look at the documentation on the seedfile for netmon.
This allows you to specify what you DO want to discover, and, via
wildcards, what you DON'T want to discover. This is easy.
If you really do want to discover the rest but turn off polling, the
question becomes "How do I specify machines NOT to be polled". From the
Options menu, you can configure polling intervals for specific systems,
specific networks and SmartSets. You could set the polling to be
100days for the stuff not yet in spec.
Cheers,
Jane

Hello All,
I am having trouble understanding how to control status polling in NetView
7.1.3. We have discovered over 6,000 devices on our network but the scope
of my current project is only to monitor and forward availability of some of
those devices.
I would like to turn polling off for most of these all bar some key systems,
preferably without removing the not currently needed objects from the
database. These additional devices will be in scope as soon as I have built
the business case.
Any help gratefully accepted
Sean O'Connor
