Excluding devices

[Michael Mercogliano]

We currently have SIM configured to send alerts anytime a server goes offline. One old server keeps being discovered and sends an alert every 4 minutes that it is offline. I deleted the server from the database but keeps getting re-discovered every night even though a discovery hasn't run. How can I tell SIM to exclude / ignore / blacklist this server by it's name?

Thanks,
-Mike

There's an exclusion list in the Discovery section. Also under Discovery are options where SIM will "discover" a device if it receives an snmp trap or similar from it. You can look at those options as well.
