snmp polling

[StephenM]

Is there a way to leverage SN SNMP Polling to generate Events?  I see polling is available for discovery but seems that only traps can be consumed on the Event side.

We have a set of devices that don't send any traps. The only way to monitor is via Polling.

Hi Stephen,

What is the requirement and why u want to poll from ServiceNow?

[StephenM]

We have a network appliance that does not send trap messages.  The vendor says the only way to collect health states is from polling.

Hi Stephen

Our Agent Client Collector (ACC-M) specifically, supports collecting data from network gear ::

https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/sandiego-it-operations-management/page/product/agent-client-collector/reference/agent-policies-checks.html

Metric	util.metrics-snmp	Collects metrics from an SNMP OID value.
Metric	util.metrics-snmp-bulk-sn	Collects metrics from an SNMP Table OID and returns the result as a table.

Hope this helps,

-Ryan

Thanks, I am trying to figure out how this works. I see the policy on my system.  Does this support SNMP V3?  

Can I run this from my MID server or do I need to stand up a node to perform the polling?
