You can fix it by going to:
- “ADMINISTRATION” tab
- “Network Discovery” section
- “Manage Devices” page
- “SNMP Entity Management” panel
- Then find all the “Cisco Call Stats” and “Interface - Cisco NBAR” devices with an “INDEX” with ~ on the end and delete them.
To find them:
- Select the data type in the “SELECT DATA TYPE” box
- Then put “~ ” (<tilde><space>) in the “GLOBAL SEARCH” box
- Then select the device/s with the tick box/es
- Then “Actions” > “Delete”
After this the discoveries should work again.
This problem only occurs after 5-6000 discoveries have been run.
We have an overall fix for this issue that will be in a future version and after the “delete” it should be 5-6000 discoveries before the issue reoccurs.
