Allow discovery to depend on Inventory information
We need to allow interfaces with CDP partner to get discovered. Generally it would be great if generally services can be discovered depending on inventory information.
Eg. depending on OS-specific version or firmware version.

Mohamed Saleh AdminHi Michael,
Thank you for posting on our Ideas Portal!
Can you elaborate on how you envision the solution to look like if it was possible to allow discovery based on inventory information? In other words, how would this feature help you to discover CDP partner interfaces? We want to understand how you would use this feature so we can better understand what the idea is about.
Looking forward to hearing from you. -

Michael K.Hi,

our network guys try to avoid monitoring each and every interface.
We have several options to get an interface into monitoring and the most important one is that we want to monitor all interfaces with CDP information.
Actual we have extended the existing if64 to give us that feature but that makes every upgrade very hard. If you want to have a better insight about the usage we can arrange a meeting or contact our partner Comnet about it.
In a general approach e,g, to have discovery based on existing inventory information I could also think about services based on firmware version, checks only when a certain rpm is installed and much more.
