Hi Robert,
I've blacklisted this module on all of the geist os types.
We already had HOST-RESOURCES-MIB blacklisted on these devices, but I guess we missed that they don't like something in the netstats poller too!
Thanks,
Adam.

Hi!
We have a large number of 'Geist' PDU devices, each of which takes around 20-30 seconds to complete the 'netstats' poller element (due to the nasty tiny-brain device, not Observium):
There is no data of value to us collected from this, so I'd like to just disable netstat collection for all current and future Geist devices. Is there a way to do this which doesn't involve clicking on each one and disabling that module manually?
I've trawled the DB as best I can to try to see where I can do this, but unable to identify where module enable/disablement is done. Closest I found is within the devices table, there is device_state and the netstats element is encoded in there in a way I cannot grasp unfortunately.
Devices can be easily matched with: select * from devices where vendor like "geist" - so I'm hoping I can make a change globally somehow?
Cheers!
