Is there a way to add an auto-discovery job in Nagios XI for network devices by IP address?

I want them to be auto-discovered nightly in case new interfaces and other resources are enabled.

For scan target, I tried two IP addresses separated by a comma as well as two /32 subnets separated by a comma.

Neither appeared to work.

Thank you!

You cannot search for individual IPs or ranges, separated by coma. You can only search for a single IP or netmask. However, you can exclude comma-separated list of IPs from the search.

Thank you. If I have thousands of devices across hundreds of subnets, should I set up a auto-discovery job for each device?

This sounds like a lot of overhead on the server to have a job for each device.

Auto-discovery uses nmap on the backend so our wizard has to conform to their standards in terms of input and command-line flags.
