I think it's a solid idea. With other systems i made it in the past. its very useful while you are building a new rack you know that all is up at the end or even during the install.

Hmm... I'm not sure about this. What do other people think?

I just finished pre-deploying a few routers for a new client, and I?m adding each one to our monitoring platforms in advance. As they?re offline, I?ll be unable to add them to Observium until they respond to SNMP / ICMP. ? Is there a way I could add these proactively, and work around the error that Observium pushes our by default? Ideally, I?d like to add them all now, disable their alerts, and enable them when they?re deployed and connectivity is in place. ? I see you have a Ignore RRD checkbox on the add device page. I wonder if we could have another that says, ?Add even though device is offline?? ? As always, thank you for your feedback and time on this. ? ? Regards, ?
