Hi,
As documented, you need the discovery command. It does not auto-add new devices unless configured to do so; rather it discovers the features of your hardware which the poller then polls.
$config['autodiscovery']['xdp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via discovery protocols $config['autodiscovery']['ospf'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via OSPF $config['autodiscovery']['bgp'] = TRUE; // Autodiscover hosts via BGP $config['autodiscovery']['snmpscan'] = TRUE; // autodiscover hosts via SNMP scanning
These are all enabled by default though, so disabled them through your configuration first, if you do not want this.
The dp_autocreate option documented on the website is unfortunately nonexistant and was replaced by the above directives. I'll update the site shortly.
Great, thanks. That's worked. From the PoV of someone reading the documentation for the first time one clarification I could see being useful is the difference between the difference discovery options: auto-scanning networks, the use of discovery protocols and the discovery via SNMP scanning. The former and the latter might be the same though. Other than that it's good documentation. A rarity.
