Regarding object name.

manispmm — Sat, 03 Sep 2022 09:22:35 GMT

I have 1000 ip address, but some of ip address already available in mgmt server. Example if I have 500 exiting host ip address , how to know that 500 exiting host name? Any easy way to find exiting host name.

Look up by IP addresses

You can also use the SmartConsole Object Explorer (Ctrl + E). There you could filter only Hosts and then:

1| Use Search field

2| sort by IP address

3| Export to CSV file and use it for the search

If you're trying to do this via the API rather than via SmartConsole, look into 'show objects filter'.

You could also do what I do: download the full details of every object, and search that yourself locally. This has the disadvantage of a lot of up-front work, but it's much faster than running 500 searches via separate API calls.

I think what @Tal_Paz-Fridman said makes most sense to me as well.

This way I know. I have 500 IPs, 500times I search those IPs . This is not easy way.
