What is the procedure of making an existing element IDP managed?
I created a Discovery Profile for a specific snmp OID that shows the model name.
Then I assigned it to a CI-type an set a scan range for a single IP that we already have an element for.
Do a discovery with that single-IP scan range it discovers the device with the correct CI type, but on the Unmanaged Elements tab it doesn't show the Detected CI Type for that element.
I expected to see there the name if the CI type for that element
Am I missing a step?
Hi Jeroen,
I'm not sure which version you are using, but I recently installed 1.1.20, and I had to do the following to add existing elements as managed elements:
- In the ADMIN->CI Types->Overview, press the button Generate to create a new CI Type associated with a production protocol. You can select all the protocols or just the ones needed:
Edit the new CI Type and configure the Discovery part with the SNMP OID model of your elements. Configure other actions as needed.
2. In the ADMIN->Activities, Enable the activities allowed for the added CI Type. We should enable at least Discovery, but other actions might be required:
3. In the INVENTORY->UNMANAGED Table Elements, press the button Refresh to update the list of CI Types, then select one existing element (the CI Type should appear now) and press the button MANAGE to make it part of IDP managed elements:
In order to add existing elements to IDP, you don’t need to perform a discovery. The dropdown in ‘Detected CI Type’ in the Unmanaged Elements table will contain the CI Types which have the same protocol version as the element you want to add.
Thanks Gelber, this works indeed
