Can I poll the same device with both SNMP and ICMP?

We have some file servers that are only being polled via ICMP/Pings , showing only an up and down status. Can it also be configured for SNMP Poling so that I can get actual drive performance information and alerts?

Yeah, it's an option right when you go to add the node. Just make sure SNMP is set up on your servers.

Better yet, add those servers in and manage them via WMI to get a better picture than just snmp info.

I agree with rschroeder if you are running Windows WMI will give you more details, other than that use SNMP. Use this post LINUX SNMP CONFIGURATION AND TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE from chad.every
