Disable Wireless Module in Orion NPM 9.5.1?

Is it possible to disable the wireless functionality/module in NPM 9.5.1? We would like to monitor the Wireless LAN Controllers but not utilize the Wireless tab features (due to CPU resources). Is this possible without removing WLC's from Orion?

Couple options, you can just add them as ICMP only nodes or

To disable all wireless polling, you have to run:

UPDATE NPM_DEVICES SET Enabled = 'False' WHERE DvcId LIKE 'Wireless.%' and RowStatus=0

UPDATE NPM_NODES
SET DvcID = null, OrigDvcID = null, State = 3, PollerJobID = null, SecondaryPollerJobID = null
WHERE State = 5

You can edit the menu bar and remove the wireless tab

Thank you. Will that also disable the functionality so that CPU resources will not be used in polling the WLC's? Or will that only "hide" the feature?

So what do you not want to poll? The clients and thin AP's? What I described will only hide the feature.

Yes sir. Exactly. We don't want to poll clients and LWAP's.
