Nodes added via SDK stay Unknown status

I added some ICMP-only nodes with SDK via PowerShell as a test, and they're staying in Unknown status after hours of waiting for something to pop in.

This didn't happen with the ones I added from the same subnet using the normal Add Node function. To keep it simple, the only properties I assigned them were EngineID, IPAddress, Caption, and ObjectSubType. Was there something more I should've done?

My first thought is did you assign any pollers to the nodes? There some discussions here about that, but the quickest check would be to take a look at the pollers table and filter it to your new nodeid and make sure the correct types of pollers are all in there compared to the ones you added via the GUI

Good question. The node in question isn't showing up in the Pollers table at all. What do you do to assign pollers?

That did it. Thanks!
