I just set up a seed file with 1 device included (as a test) for MARS - the device is a Cisco router - seems pretty simple - the seed file only has the device name, type (IOS) and IP address fields included - all other fields are empty. I'm trying to get this seed process working before using a more complete seed file (several hundred devices).
But when I try to add the device to MARS using the seed file as the input, I get a long pause - "discovering devices" - af ew minutes - this eventually times out with an error - tells me "discovery takes a long time" - and "to check the console for device status info", etc. Nothing gets added (so far, that I can see)
I don't even want MARS to discover these devices right now - just want a quick way (i.e. seed file) to bulk add them as reporting devices and I can tweek them later if need be.
Any hints / tips here would be appreciated.
thanks
