This plugin requires the Plugin Architecture

This plugin adds the ability to auto-discover devices on a subnet that are not monitored by Cacti and and tells you if they are SNMP enabled.
Available Options
All options are located under the Misc tab in Settings

    Discover Subnet
    This option is used to tell the Discover Plugin which subnets to scan to find hosts. You can add multiple subnets by seperating them by a comma, spaces are ignored. You can input the subnets like this

      10.1.0.*
      10.10.1.0.0/24
      10.10.1.0.0/255.255.255.0
      10.1.0.19/255.255.255.240
      10.1.0.19-10.1.0.27

    DNS Server
    This option is used to specify a DNS server to resolve hostnames for discovered hosts. May be left blank to disable name resolution.

    Ping Method
    This option selects the protocol that should be used to ping hosts, choices are UDP, TCP, or ICMP.

    SNMP Communities
    Fill in the list of available SNMP Community Names to test for this device. Each Community Name must be separated by a colon ':'. These will be tested sequentially.

    Poller Frequency
    Choose how often to attempt to find devices on your network. Choices are Disabled, Every 1 Hour, Every 2 Hours, Every 4 Hours, Every 6 Hours, Every 8 Hours, Every 12 Hours, Every Day.

    Start Time for Polling
    When would you like the first polling to take place. All future polling times will be based upon this start time. A good example would be 12:00AM.
