Hi All,

• How actually network discovery works for observium ? I mean do I have

to

just enable SNMP with same community and same Snmp version on all my devices so that observium can discover my whole networkor I jus have

to

add of single device name in config.apt and whole network will be autoatically discovered?..... and does observium also show me the whole

map

for my network ( connectivity b/w my devices)? and most important do i

need

to make any device as Seed device for my network ? from which it will automatically penetrate to whole network...Further more after

discovering

of my device can i filter those graphs so that I can only plot useful or main graphs

Currently discovery works via discovery protocols, it only works properly with networks that have CDP, FDP or LLDP set up properly.

• Can I also make groups to those graphs I mean is it possible that I

can make a separate tab for my roters and the \n separate tab for

switches

etc.

We currently automatically put all routers and switches into a 'network' group.

It's not possible to define custom groups, but you can move devices to different groups.
