SNMP polling without ping

We have several linux appliances that allow SNMP polling but do not respond to Ping. I thought there was some way to tell NPM that as long as SNMP polls, the node is Up, but for some reason I can't seem to find it... ?

Hello ttl,

In NPM 10.7 we introduced SNMP status polling. Simple click on node, List resource, change from ICMP to SNMP. If you need change in many nodes you can use Manage pollers.

Settings - Manage pollers - pick Statu and response time SNMP poller.

That's what I forgot -- Node > List Resource, change from ICMP to SNMP.

I don't suppose it could also be placed under Edit Node? That was where I was looking and seemed a bit more intuitive.

Thanks for the help!
