Dillon,
what I did is simply create a Package "Webservers" in poller-configuration.xml; moving the poller packages from >"Default" to that package and adding the webservers I want to monitor in in the "include" part of this package >(<specific xmlns="">xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx</specific>); and yes, you can also set an "include" range.
As result the Webserver services are detected, but set as "not monitored" in the WebUI, hence don't go into the SLA >calculation if down.
Hope this helps,
Christoph
Ah... yes, that's probably a very good solution -- since I have defined IP space separation between "network" and "servers", I *could* just make two packages instead of having one Default that fits them all. I believe I'd have to delete the nodes and let them be re-discovered to have the new package apply to them? Good idea, thanks!

I have always made a point to disable the HTTPS and/or HTTP server on
my Cisco devices if I don't use it. The more services running, the
more at-risk you are with vulnerabilities.
Anyway, just my two cents.
The easiest way, but the most time consuming, is to go to each node,
choose Admin, then choose Manage/Unmanage services. Then, remove the
checkmarks from the services you want monitored.
If you want a more automated approach, you can do an update to the
database directly. I'll let the Guru/SQL guys come up with that one.
There may be dependencies that I'm not aware of.

Oh believe me, I'm not happy that all the switches are running those services either :) We're in the planning stages of implementing CiscoWorks, hopefully when that's up I can just turn off all those services en masse instead of individually... the idea of logging into *hundreds* of devices and changing the configurations is not something I'd like to have to do :)
I like where you're going with the direct database query -- I may investigate that rather than re-discover everything like I think I'd have to do in the above suggestion. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
So, I am monitoring mostly a large number of Cisco devices, but I always
have on my OpenNMS home page a listing of "Web Servers" showing with
outages. I'm not sure why the https server doesn't respond some of the
time on my switches, but really I don't care about that service anyway - we
don't use the web interface and I don't want it to show as a "Node with
Outages" on my OpenNMS home page, or be factored into my 24-hour
availability numbers.
Is there a way to tell it to unmanage that service (I guess that's what I
want to do?) on all my Cisco-discovered devices automatically? Or do I have
to narrow it down more than that? Can I say somehow, all the things in
*these* IP ranges, don't bother monitoring their http/s servers? I don't
want to turn off the http/s polling in capsd completely, as we plan to use
this to monitor servers in the future.
Any ideas would be welcome, thanks!
