Node management rights

Debbi

Is there any way to restrict an account to be able to add nodes only and not delete any?

Unfortunately, no. That's an interesting idea though. Maybe post it in the feature requests?

OK, then, is there a way to add a bunch of icmp-only nodes (no snmp!) by hostname list or list of IP addresses? I don't want to auto-discover them and do not want to use snmp for this group of nodes.

Bulk list in discovery will discover by ICMP if it can't do snmp this way:

Bulk list works in a way hostnames are resolved into IP list and IP list is then used as set of IP ranges in discovery configuration. So, hostnames are gone. When discovery does not discover hostname (i.e. ICMP node) the result of discovery is just bunch of nodes with IP as a name. When node is SNMP capable and discovery is able to get hostname, hostname is used. In case of ICMP only nodes discovery does not have that kind of information even if IP can be resolved into hostname via DNS. Add node on node management use other technique. It resolves IP from hostname and stores both. (Unfourtunately add node can't take a list as far as I can tell)

So I can add in bulk a list of IPs and they will not resolve via DNS. Or I can add them one by one in Add Node and they will resolve via DNS. Correct? Weird.
