Introduction

As at 1.12.6 we have introduced the concept of Networks. The Blessed Subnets feature uses the data available in Networks.

How Does it Work?

As we run Discoveries and collect device results we populate the list of networks. The Blessed The blessed Subnets  feature feature uses this list of networks to only accept data from devices on those networks.

...

To make another network go to menu : Manage -> Admin -> Networks -> Create Network. Provide a name and an optional description.

IMPORTANT - The network name should be a slash subnet address addrress like 192.168.1.0/24. No spaces between the slash and numbers. It should be a valid subnet address. This string is what is tested against when using Blessed Subnets.
