[Observium] Auto Discovery/Automate adding devices.

Hello Team,

Please can you assist me with the auto discovery. It's not working... :)

I read in a mailing list archive dated Nov 2014, that it actually doesn't work? Is this still the case?

Can I write my own script that adds devices from the backend? Should I use an API call or can I insert into the database directly?

Further to that,

1. What happens if I try to add the same device again? Thinking from an automated system, the same hostname might have multiple interfaces that it is reachable on? 2. What happens if we change a device's host name - does observium create a new device? What is best practice when administering the system wrt device swop outs or hostname changes?

Regards,

Rudolf
