7.2.3 Stop Monitoring
The NNMi management modes are used to set devices or interfaces to UNMANAGED or OUT OF SERVICE. UNMANAGED is considered to be a permanent situation; you will never care to know the status of the object. OUT OF SERVICE is for temporary situations where one or more objects will be offline and down incidents would be superfluous.
Consider the management mode as an overlay across all group settings. Regardless of its group, polling interval, or type, the State Poller does not communicate with an object when its status is set to UNMANAGED or OUT OF SERVICE.
- Tip
-
Some of the devices, interfaces, or both you choose to discover and place in the database do not need to be polled. Note those objects which you will permanently set to UNMANAGED.
You might want to create one or more node groups to enable you to set management modes more easily.
