Overview

The SNMP data source is used to gather data from device that implement the SNMP protocol. This data source performs polling and also accepts SNMP traps.

Configuration

Every data source requires a Name, which can be any description. The Update period determines how often the SNMP points will be polled for data. The remainder of the fields are needed to configure the details of SNMP communication.

SNMP host testing

The host testing can be used to test both the data source configuration and the existence and value of a given OID (Object IDentifier). Enter the OID to test and click "Get OID value". The current configuration settings will be used to sent an SNMP get request. If successful, the OID value will be displayed. Otherwise, a message describing the error will be provided.
