You could run the auto-discovery on the overlying groups' level. In such a case, you would need to make sure that the already defined devices are scanned during the auto-discovery, as well.

The easiest way to do this would be to create a device template and run an auto-discovery on the groups / devices in case.

Thanks for the answer. I already created the template and could add this template to the devices. Now I don´t know how run an discovery on all this devices without selecting each device individually. I do a search (all of the required devices have a same name portion) selct all and would know do a auto discovery on all selected devices. It seem that there is no way to do this. Doeas anyone know a different way? Best regards Robert
