    Using a Seed File to import many nodes.

     I have been trying to import a large list of IP address into Solarwinds Orion using the Discovery tool. I receive no errors but the tool never finds any of my nodes. Here is an example of my seed file with the IP address removed for space concerns.   See Attached.
    One Orion SLX Main Poller
    Three Additional Pollers
    One Additional Web server
    One Cirrus 4.0 DLX
    24000 Elements
    Netflow 2750 interfaces

    There must be no lines in between Nodes and the IP - verify this.

    There are no lines. Goes from nodes and directly under is the list of IP addresses.

    Verify that you have indents for everything.  It should look something like this.

     

    Settings

    Auto Select Subnets = false

    Auto Select Subnet Size = 17

    PING Timeout = 2000

    Max Concurrent PINGs = 350

    Inter PING Delay = 100

    PINGs Per IP Address = 2

    SNMP Timeout = 1500

    SNMP Retries = 2

    Max Concurrent SNMP = 350

    SNMP Restarts = 3

    SNMP Restart Delay = 10000

    Max Concurrent DNS = 400

     

    Community Strings

                    topsecret

     

    Seed Routers

     

    subnets

     

    Nodes

                    172.16.3.147

                    172.16.3.233

     Do you know if Orion V9 Sp1 is having known problems with the seed files?  I'm trying to bring devices in Via IP address. I followed the same format and I'm running into problems. When I get to the import tab and click next I only get a flash on the screen that looks like the nodes I'm trying to add but it only flashes on the screen and then disappears.  The SNMP information get imported but I can't see any nodes?

    Thanks
