SolarWinds UDT - Adding a Node (Add a Single Device)

2. If you are discovering devices for an SolarWinds NPM installation, check the interface types you
want SolarWinds UDT to monitor on the Interface Types to Import page, and then click Next.
If you are not sure you want to monitor a specific interface type, check the interface type in
question. If, later, you do not want to monitor a selected interface, delete it using Web Node
Management. For more information, see "Managing Devices in the Web Console."
3.
On the Volume Types to Import page, check the volume types you want SolarWinds UDT to monitor,
and then click Next.
If you are not sure you want to monitor a specific volume type, check the volume type in
question. If, later, you do not want to monitor any volume of the selected type, delete the
volume using Web Node Management. For more information, see "Managing Devices in the
Web Console"
4. If you want to import nodes, even when they are already known to be polled by another
polling engine, check the option in the Allow Duplicate Nodes section. For more information about
working with multiple polling engines, see "Managing SolarWinds UDT Polling Engines"
5. If you are discovering devices for an SolarWinds NPM installation, check valid states for
imported interfaces on the NPM Import Settings page, and then click Next.
By default, SolarWinds UDT NPM imports interfaces that are discovered in an Operationally
Up state. However, because interfaces may cycle off and on intermittently, the Import Settings
page allows you to select interfaces found in Operationally Down or Shutdown states for
import, as well.
6. If there are any devices on the Import Preview that you do not ever want to import, check
the device to ignore, and then click Ignore. Selected nodes are added to the Discovery Ignore List. For
more information, see "Using the Discovery Ignore List"
7.
Confirm that the network objects you want to monitor are checked on the Import Preview page, and
then click Import.
8. If you are discovering devices for an SolarWinds NPM installation, after the import completes,
click Finish.
Imported devices display in the All Nodes resource.
Adding a Node (Add a Single Device)
As its name indicates, you use the ADD A SINGLE DEVICE option in Discovery Central if you only need to
add a single device.
The Add a Node option (All Nodes > Manage Nodes) provides a second way to add a single node
using the same wizard screens as in the following steps.
To add a single device:
1. Click Settings near the top right of the application window.
2. Click Discovery Central in the Getting Started with Orion category.
3. Click ADD A SINGLE DEVICE.
