Discovery improvement

[jnarew]

It's my first post in Zabbix forum. Hello from Poland.
I use Zabbix more than year and it's excellent software.

I want to share my experience and describe a small idea's which may improve Zabbix.

First in Discovery module ( I use Zabbix 1.8.4 ) :

- GUI: Monitoring/Discovery:
in column "Discovered Device add functions:
1. exec script (list as defined in [Administration/Scripts/*]
for example :
[NMAP] /usr/bin/nmap -v {HOST.CONN}
[SNMPWALK] /usr/bin/snmpwalk -Os -c public -v 1 {HOST.CONN} system
2. delete row (discovered data from database)
many of them are obsolete
3. add to host list
after identyfing host auto register it

- Core of Discovery module :
1. Discover mac address of device
(some hosts are on dhcp service and
2. Discover netbios name of device

Thank's

these would be best to split up in separate reports and add in the issue tracker

Two tickets created.

Well, i create two tickets:
https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-896 / Context menu for Discovered Host
https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-897 / Save mac address of discovered host

Thanks for advice.
