how to create a probe without graphing when discovered?

Hi!

When I run a “discover” on a device and it finds a new service, it adds it to the “services” and also starts graphing this service.
Now, for some services I just want them polled but not graphed.

I can put the services in the “ignored” list in ‘device type’ - but this will remove the service after discovery - I want to keep them.

If I leave the “Value” and “Unit” field empty it still appears in the Services list.

Anyone got an idea how I can create a probe that does not graph by default or what I am doing wrong?

thanks,

Gsandul,

this is the easy solution but I am looking for the complex one :wink:

I was looking for a way to create a probe that does not graph from the beginning - I am running a “auto discover” every 24 hours and new services are added if interfaces come up, etc.

My interfaces never need to be graphed, I am graphing bandwidth via the links (on the map)
Also I would just be graphing a 1 (up) or a 2 (down) so this is not neccessary.

Otherwise I just check once in a while and disable graphing in bulk.

thanks

Will this work for you?
Or some services should be graphed and some - not?
:slight_smile:

If so, create 2 scan shedules, one with disabled authograph services and the other whit enabled authograph services :slight_smile:

I do not beleive you can do it with probes

hmmmmm…

I admit, enabling a few (CPU/RAM/Temp/etc.) is much less work than disabling a lot :slight_smile:

Will follow that way. Thanks!!!
