Hello,
1. I'd like to implement some type of discovery script that daily re-discovers the switchports in a network and only monitors the ones with a certain string in the description. Is this possible? How do I script it? For example, If I put the word "UPLINK" in the interface description, I want that switchport monitored. All other switchports should be ignored for monitoring purposes.
2. Even better, how would I apply this to only certain device types (eg. only cisco and hp procurve switches) and certain interfaces types (layer 2 switchports, not routed ports).
3. I've read through http://www.solarwinds.com/documentation/Orion/docs/OrionAdministratorGuide.pdf and didn't see anything matching what I was trying to do.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
