stop IPAM discovery scans on existing NCM nodes

I need to stop IPAM discovery scans on our static Infrastructure - AKA the nodes in NCM

Is there an easy way to disable the scans on NCM managed nodes?

or a way to run a job to disable based off list (report) of NCM nodes?

Are you talking about the standard IPAM icmp sweeps to check for availability? If so then you would have to search each IP and disable scanning on it, there isn't a way to automatically do it.

the SNMP scans

we are fine with the ICMP scans on all devices

You could disable neighbor scanning and SNMP scanning globally by going to IPAM Settings > Subnet Scan Settings and unchecking those two boxes. Otherwise you will have to edit those settings on individual subnets

we want to scan the subnets, just not the infrastructure

for example we want to scan 192.168.1.0/24 but not the switch on 192.168.1.1

Ideally I would like to script it, as we have a lot of subnets and network devices, all in Orion, so in theory there is a way to run a report and use that in the script

something like:
For {each object in NCM}
for {IP on IRB interfaces from NCM config}
disable SNPM scan in subnet
{next device}
