How does "<AllowDuplicateNodes></AllowDuplicateNodes>" work in Discovery Profiles?

I'd like to use the DiscoverNodes table as a way to import nodes which are discovered but I only want to populate that table with nodes which aren't being managed already. Is that what <AllowDuplicateNodes>false</AllowDuplicateNodes> is for? If I set that to true, does the discovery remove items which are already nodes? I can't seem to find that documented or a way in the web that indicates this is even an option? Does setting this to true get me where I want to be?

  • Ifcowart,

    AllowDuplicateNodes to True will allow to import duplicated node if exists on other polling engine.

    Example:

    • you have already node with IP 1.1.1.1 monitored on engine 1
    • run discovery on engine 2 and it finds another node with IP 1.1.1.1 (it can be the same or other node)
    • if this settings is true then discovery imports it otherwise not

    Orion will de-duplicate nodes already discovered through Discovery profile in case of importing through SDK.
