New Host addition without auto adding all ports

Hello,
Good Morning. I have a fairly large deployment that I am working on and I have the need to add many hosts. I am not specifically bothered about their interface throughput so do not want them auto added on a poll of a new device.
I may then go in separately for the core router and core switch/distribution switches to add interfaces/ports of specific interest and my discretion. Is there a way I can achieve this.
Many thanks
Best Regards,
Lee

You can either set this up via the webUI (global settings --> edit --> polling) or via your config.php file. Mark all of the optional modules as false to disable them.
Add a new device, run the discovery/poller, then use the settings cog (properties --> modules) for that secific device to enable just what you want to use.
I'd test it all on one or two devices first though before opening the floodgate.
This does go against the common-sense mantra of "graph/monitor today what you don't know you'll need tomorrow"... Each to their own, I guess.
