I'm got a collection defined that currently has 600+ objects in it. The collection is used by our help desk to monitor a particular device at 600 of our locations.
Here are the details on the collection rules I'm currently using:
Collection: Store_Hubs
Description: All Store Hubs
Rule: ((IN_COLLECTION "BayStack_503") || (IN_COLLECTION "BayStack_15x"))
Collection: BayStack_503
Description: BayStack 503
Rule: ('SNMP sysObjectID' = '1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.27.1')
Collection: BayStack_15x
Description: BayStack 15x
Rule: ('SNMP sysObjectID' = '1.3.6.1.4.1.45.3.31.1')
The end result is that I get all the devices I need in the collection, but w/ that many devices, it is very difficult to read. As a result, I've added location containers w/ in the
Store_Hubs collection submap and am cutting and pasting between the collection and the location containers.
This apparently isn't the best way to define this collection. I'm getting duplicate objects in the collection, I've already got one object moved to the appropraite submap just below the collection and then the same object appearing in the New Object Holding Area in the Store_Hubs collection.
Is there a way to define a collection using a range of hostnames? All these devices have hostnames that go like:
s0xxxhub
where xxx is the location number. If I can define a range of hosts names in a collection, everything will take care of itself.
