Clearing all results from a Network Sonar Discover Scan

Is there a way to delete all of the results from "Scheduled Discovery Results"? No one else in my group has been maintaining their scan results, so this has gotten huge! I would like to clear out all the results and start over.

Thanks,

Jon

Add all the devices to the Ignore List. Then go into the Ignore List and select all the devices and click on Remove from Ignore List. Then they should all be re-discovered on the next scan.

I've not tried this but it looks like it will work.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already tried it, and didn't think it worked as I still had 75 devices "stuck" in the Ignore List. After messing with it for awhile, I have determined that I have an NPM issue as these 75 devices cannot be removed for some reason. Do you happen to know which db table this info resides in? I could always remove them that way ;-). Anyway, I have a ticket in with support to get this resolved.

Thanks,

Jon

There is a field named "IsIgnored" in the DiscoveryIgnoredNodes table. Is that what you need?

Hi borgan,

This was exactly what I was looking for. SW tech support also pointed me to

- DiscoveryIgnoredInterfaces

- DiscoveryIgnoredVolumes

I had a bunch of "cruft" in these other two tables as well. I cleared all three of them out. Hopefully this will help.

I tried the Add To Ignore List then Remove From Ignore List but it just put the nodes back into the Results page. Bah

I'll try the table approach

Go it. This is what I found on NPMv12

Take all of the nodes that need to be forgotten in the Scheduled Discovery Results tab, mark them and do an Add To Ignore List.

Now they are not in the Results list and only in the Ignore list

RDP to the primary engine, run the Database Manager, and one by one locate the tables DiscoveryIgnoredInterfaces, DiscoveryIgnoredVolumes & DiscoveryIgnoredNodes doing an Execute Query to select them, then an Enable Table Editing and Mark-ShiftMark to select the required rows (or click the top left square to mark the entire table) and delete the rows. Check back in Orion's Discovery Ignore List to see them disappear type by type for the warm comfort factor
