Is there a way to change nodes from ICMP to SNMP without removing and re-adding them to the console?
Thanks,
Kevin
I think you just click on add node and type in the IP you want to change. Then you can select SNMP and it will keep the historical ICMP stats also.
In V7 and earlier you could open the node details in System Manager and just check the SNMP box and enter the SNMP community string to change from ICMP to SNMP polling. I don't see a way to do that anymore in V8.
You will lose the ICMP data when changing to SNMP polling.
Denny & Company,
Any way to get this added back in? or was there a good reason to remove it?
I'll look into what changed.
You should be able to do this in 8.5.1. The only thing is that the name is not updated. You still see it as the IP address. If that's not working, please open a support ticket.
Denny,
The only way I can see to do it is to click Add node and re-enter the node name.
I cannot see a way to do it from the node details.
How am I supposed to do it?
Yes, click Add Node and re-enter the node name, community string, and set the SNMP version. But don't delete it.
ok, but that's a lot of work. Oh well.
Can you put in a request to have it like it was before so you can use a checkbox on the existing node details or something like that?
I recently ran into the same issue in 9.1 and was supprised to see that this could not be done with a mass edit through the WebConsole. This query seemed to do the trick.
update nodes set Community = '<your community>'', ObjectSubType = 'SNMP', SNMPVersion = '1' where SNMPVersion = 0 and <insert your criteria here>
