Smarts Discovery Best Practice
I have currently set up an auto discovery filter to discover 10.160.<.0-.191>.255.
However, I need to exclude four class C subnets from this range. I don't want discovery to even scan these subnets.
What is the best practice to exclude these subnets?
Use the filter or place these in the discovery.conf file to exclude?
If these subnets are placed in the discovery.conf file will the subnets still be scanned?
Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
To prevent specific systems from being discovered, you can use the ipExcludeList parameter in the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/discovery/discovery.conf file to create exclude-type filters. The ability to create exclude-type filters simplifies the creation of the discovery filters.
Use wildcards, to specify matching patterns in the IP exclude patterns. Any IP address that matches an exclude pattern will not be added to the topology.
The following example excludes IP addresses from the specified IP network:
ipExcludeList += “10.10.9.*”
Please see KB article here for information on how to dynamically update the list:

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Kind Regards,
Paul O'Rourke
