Discovery Filter in OpManager

Discovery Filters are used to include/exclude devices based on certain filter conditions. These filters come in handy when there is a wide variety of devices coming under the specific input range and you wish to add devices of a particular type (say Windows devices ).You can choose to add or ignore an individual device or a set of devices before configuring device discovery schedule in OpManager.

Steps to apply the Discovery filter:

• Go to Settings -> Discovery -> Network Discovery.
• Choose the discovery type and click on the Want to Ignore devices option.
• Choose either Ignore/Add Device(s), specify a criteria and enter the value or IP address as per the selected 'Type'.
• Finally click on Add and proceed with the discovery process. OpManager will add/ignore the devices as per the filter specifications.
