Hi Milton,
We generally recommend that you only run the "--host new" job on a
single system in a distributed installation.
This is similar to housekeeping and other tasks that don't really
distribute sanely.
I'll see if we can improve the logic.
Thanks,
adam.

I am running multiple pollers, and we just noticed that the discovery of new
hosts is not doing what we would expect when trying to partition the workload.
Instead of doing a third of the new hosts, it does a third of all the hosts,
essentially doing a full discovery, which is causing some our PDU’s to get
overloaded, since they are being hit by 3 parallel discoveries and also
possibly a poll at the same time.
/opt/observium/observium-wrapper discovery --host new -i 3 -n 0
If I remove the -i and -n options, then it does what I would expect, although
it is not distributed, which isn’t a problem because the number of new devices
should be pretty small. So the --host and the -i and -n options appear to be
mutually exclusive, which isn’t stated in the help at all.
