More information grabbed during autodiscovery
Posted: Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:46 am
The Idea: Have the autodiscover feature grab more data than just IP, hostname, and ports.
The Why: Primarily for filtering through devices during the autodiscovery import. A client of mine asked if Nagios could search through the devices and filter out ones that have a desktop OS. Doing this in-program would obviously be more of a task, so I think having an "OS" tag when seeing the autodiscover results would make imports far more accurate and save time/money in the amount of editing that needs to be done later.
