Using the Discovery Ignore List
Often, devices are found during a network discovery that you never intend to monitor
with SolarWinds UDT. The Discovery Ignore List is a record of all such devices on your
network. By placing a device on the Discovery Ignore List you can minimize the SNMP
processing load associated with discovering devices that you never intend to monitor.
To manage devices on the Discovery Ignore List:
1. Click Start > All Programs > SolarWinds Orion > Configuration and Auto-
Discovery > Network Discovery.
2. If you want to view the current Discovery Ignore List, click Discovery
Ignore List.
