Inventory Ignore Rules

Configurable rules to skip ENTITY-MIB entries during module sync. Some vendors (e.g. Cisco IOS-XR) report EEPROM/IDPROM chips as child entities with the same model name and serial as their parent hardware. These phantom entries would appear as duplicate modules in the sync UI.

Each rule matches an entity name using the selected match type (ends with, starts with, contains, or regex). When Require Serial Match is enabled, the entry is only skipped if its serial number matches the parent entity — providing a safety net against accidentally hiding legitimate modules.

Example — Cisco IOS-XR IDPROM entries:
Match type: ends_with, Pattern: IDPROM, Require serial match: Yes
Skips entries like Optics0/0/0/0-IDPROM, 0/FT0-FT IDPROM, Rack 0-Chassis IDPROM.
