Service Control Manager of a Node added using SNMP not accessible

Question

I had added a  node (Windows machine) for monitoring SNMP, since it was not accessible using WMI. I was able to add the node and was able to add the resources like CPU, Memory and so on for monitoring. After adding the node, when I go into the node detail page and click on Service Control Manager, it opens a new pop up screen and shows an error in a dialog. The error is "Unable to load services with the supplied WMI credentials. Please try to use different credentials.". I am not sure, what is wrong. This is the first time, I am using SNMP for adding node for monitoring. What else will break, apart from Service Control Manager and how to fix them when using SNMP instead of WMI?Can anyone please help me with this?

Its a default behavior -> Service Control Manager and Real-Time Event Log Viewer

It doesn't actually break anything its just that it would require WMI credentials, you can still use this functionality even though you add a node as SNMP. Just save the WMI credentials under SAM settings -> credentials, select the same when it prompts for it as mentioned by you.
