Yep, and if I hadn't wouldn't that mean the manual add would fail?

Have you added the ip-range of the hosts to the list of ip-ranges that should be autodiscovered?

Just ran a debug on discovery from a particular host, and I can see devices getting discovered and resolved correctly. But a discovery -h all didn't add them as new devices? Am I wrong about when the autodiscover and subsequent add should happen? They do allow me to add them manually but we're talking hundreds of switches...
Cheers, Emma

Sorry, I meant that the alias (which matches the device hostname)
is a
CNAME pointing to the A record address which resolves the IP.

Hi Emma,
I'm not sure what you mean by "main resolvable hostname" and
"alias" ?
For autodiscovery you obviously need to be able to resolve the
hostname
the device is broadcasting.

Hi,
I understand that Observium needs the hostnames to be valid,
so we
tweaked our hosts file with a regex to add an alias to match the
device
hostnames (as our initial names had some extra info in the names
not on
the
hosts). But this appears to allow me to add devices manually but autodiscovery doesn't seem to be working. Does Observium
need it to be
the 'main' resolvable hostname rather than an alias?
