Guys, we have a remote router that we monitor. It's business critical so we monitor a loopback interface IP on it for both ICMP and SNMP. ICMP response time is generally about 250 ms but we wan't to know ASAP if it goes above that. Out of the box it appears that NPM 11 polls it for response every 5 mins. Can this be reduced to 30s or do I have to look at doing this with SAM or a custom script outside of NPM.

When adding a new Node manually or by going in to the properties of that specific node you can adjust the Polling interval.
Too be sure looked for a Solarwinds Video in You Tube the URL is shown below;

@ 3:43 of the Video you will see the Polling part of the Node Properties:
You should be able to adjust these settings for the Router.
Please also remember when polling a node more frequently you may have to adjust the alert thresholds, so you’re not being notified that the node is down when it is only slower responses or network monitoring packets dropped due network congestion but the Node is still online and active.
I trust that this reply will help you resolve the issue.
