operator. This is useful for commonly accessed objects as they can be displayed on the dashboard in the favourites widget.

No SSH2 connection sharing - If this is an object that will perform tests using a SSH2

feature. Normally only one connection will be opened and then shared among all

monitors using SSH2 in this object. Disabling the SSH2 connection sharing will result in more logins on the SSH server, but can be useful if you experience any problems with your connections.

No inspection - Normally INM will perform an object inventory of all objects regularly in

order to discover hardware and attached devices. You can disable this automatic inspection by checking this option.

Wake-On-LAN - MAC address of the object. Leave this blank to make INM query the

object for the MAC address automatically when the object is saved. If INM is unable to acquire the correct MAC address you can specify it here.
