The Solarwinds "Edit Node" page has an option to "TEST" an SNMP connection to a device using a community string of your choice.
The page also allows you to select the polling engine (source) and the name/IP address of the device to test (Target).
I want to be able to do this for potentially hundreds of devices across 20 or so polling engines. So I don't want to do it one at a time via the "Edit Node" page!!
Basically I want to be able to script something that takes "Target Device", "Polling Engine" and "Community String" as arguments an does whatever is behind the "TEST" button on the "Edit Node" screen and then returns success or fail.
This must surely be possible?
I would also like to be able to do a similar test for ICMP access from a remote poller to a device.
Any help would be most appreciated?
