Ok, 

"Ignore device” break rancid backup, can you fix

Oh, I see.

It totally wasn't clear at all what you were asking, since you used 10000 words where about 7 would have sufficed.

Probably the SQL query which builds the list of hosts is excuding devices with ignore =1.

But when I tick the “ignore device for alerting…” in Observium, then Rancid no longer backs up the device, 

I can only assume that the tick box disables something that is checked by the generate-rancid script, which I assume has noting to do with Shrubbery / Rancid

You realise rancid has nothing at all to do with us, right?

Hello

We use Observium in conjunction with Rancid, we backup not only our Routers and Switches but also our UBNT Radios.
The feature request is as follows,

If we set a CPE radio to "Ignore device for alerting and notifications” the backup attempts will also stop

For most of our radios we don’t ever ignore them, however in the consumer space there are clients who will switch off equipment every day when they are not home, or will unplug they are going away for a weekend or longer,

We still poll these consumer radios so that we can graph traffic and packetloss etc, but are not really worried if the client switches them off, we don't proactively monitor consumer / home user radios. however when a number of clients do switch their kit off it fills up the screen that is used by NOC.

Is there a way to still allow rancid from backup up a device that has been set to ignore?
