Tim, I think you or Ian had mentioned this method to me before. The problem is that we would like to automate this as a weekly or daily function so that we can verify we are monitoring the correct devices. With OpenView (that we are trying to phase out), we can run utilities at the command line or script level, that allow us to extract information from it's object database. I was hoping that InterMapper had the same ability.
With 70+ maps, having to do the export manually is not something I am
looking forward to doing, especially on a recurring basis :).
It would even be OK if I could grep the map file, but these files are
probably database or some other compressed or encrypted file.
Just to give you an idea of what we have been doing with OV. We do this
daily at 7:00AM so that a fresh report is ready.
Generate a list of objects that are hidden
Generate a list of objects that are not being monitored (equal to
your non-polling)
Generate a list of objects with a status of "shutdown" (not
required with InterMapper because you handle devices differently than OV)

I don't know about from the command line, but I know that with
Intermapper Remote, you can export that map to a tab-delimited file,
which has been useful for us (we also run Intermapper on RedHat).
