zenoss created a patch to do exactly what you want there is a commandline argument --snmp-strict-discovery which I assume you can put into the config
# As root, su to the zenoss user. # run ‘zenpatch 10914’ # run ‘zenmigrate’ # run ‘zenoss restart’ # That should do it. After this, you should have a new zProperty at Networks on the zProperties tab. The new property is ‘zSnmpStrictDiscovery’ and can be set to True or False. By default, it is False. When set to true, discovered ip’s will not create devices unless snmp info can be retrieved. In conjunction with the zSnmpCommunities property on Devices, this should filter on community like 2.1. Please give me a shout if you have any problems or if these instructions are unclear/inaccurate. hope this helps, Pete mwoodling wrote: > Can anyone from Zenoss proper weigh in on this?
