Working with scheduled jobs
NetIM supports the concept of multiple, configurable, scheduled jobs for performing tasks such as discovery and collection. To configure scheduled jobs, choose Configure > All Settings > Customize > Scheduled Jobs.
NetIM also provides a system-defined schedule named the “Master Schedule” that cannot be edited or deleted from the Scheduled Jobs page.
You can cause the Master Schedule to be triggered manually from the Scheduled Jobs page by clicking Run Now
or create new jobs by clicking Add
to launch the New Job Details page.
To set up a new job
1. Provide the job with a name, schedule, and whether it should be group-based or apply to all devices.
2. Select the tasks and subtasks you want the job to perform by enabling or disabling the available tasks.
Tasks and Subtasks that are available in a scheduled job include:
• Discovery & Autoconfiguration
• CLI and SNMP Data Collection & Parsing
• Pre-Collected File Collection & Parsing
• Data Import
• Auto Grouping and Topology Inference
