I have some network network jobs that I don't necessarily want to add all the devices for (customer routers that we don't manage for instance) so I have a discovery job that runs but doesn't automatically add anything
What I want is to setup an alert that will email me when a new device is found. I can't find the options to define this in the alerts manager?
I'm unsure of the best method to tackle this
Essentially we have a lot of customer routers, most of them are installed and managed by us and we want to add them to be able to mass push config changes etc. The current job is setup to discover all devices that respond to either SNMP or ICMP but not add them
Some routers don't have SNMP enabled so it's good to see the IP address of all of them, so I can then login, enable SNMP/SSH and be able to push a change. On the other hand some routers are managed by other organisations so I want to be able to ignore them entirely
So I want to get an email when a new device is picked up in any case, but only when its truly new. I don't want to receive alerts every day about the same node (I suppose clicking 'add to ignore list' would accomplish this?)
Would creating 2 jobs with the same subnet ranges work? 1 that automatically adds all devices that respond to SNMP, and the other that discovers everything but doesn't add them. Would this just result in duplicates or is the Orion platform smart enough to know "Oh hang on that first discovery job already found and added this device, I'll skip that one"
