Automatically import from discovery queue?

[eeiswerth]

I'm curious if it's possible to automatically import resources of a certain type from the JON server's discovery queue?  We have some auto-scaling configured and currently the hostnames/IPs change each time an instance is brought up.  As a result the instances show up in the discovery queue as if they were new resources each time auto-scaling kicks in.  This isn't a huge concern at this point in time.  However, I'm curious if it is possible to automatically import these resources into the inventory from the discovery queue?

For example, I would like these "dynamic" resources to get automatically imported into the inventory while also inherting my alerts that have been defined on my dynamic groups.  Any thoughts?

I am also open to accomplishing this through the API if it's not possible via the UI. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

You could write a CLI script to auto-import them (see http://johnsanda.blogspot.com/2010/08/auto-import-resources-into-inventory.html ) and then run that script periodically in a cron job.

Thanks! Looks like what I was looking for.
