The Excluded Nodes List and Discover
The Excluded Nodes list can be used to prevent certain nodes from being re-discovered
and re-added to the central node database. Nodes which have been excluded from all
views are no longer polled byNetSight Element Manager or displayed in any of its views,
but they won’t be discovered by the Discover application, either. If your discover scripts
pick up devices you do not wish to monitor, you can simply exclude them from all views
and leave them in the Excluded Nodes database indefinitely, maintaining a record of their
presence on your network without the bandwidth cost of continuous polling. Nodes in the
Excluded Nodes database can also be re-added to the central node database at any time,
should the need arise.
For more information about the Discover application, see Chapter 3, Discovering Nodes.
