Metrics explanation

Polling dashboards

To check that polling on your device is working correctly first of all check SNMP schedule of polling tasks dashboard. Using this chart you can understand when SC4SNMP scheduled polling for your SNMP device last time. The process works if it runs regularly.

After double-checking that SC4SNMP scheduled polling tasks for your SNMP device we need to be sure that polling is working. For that look at another dashboard SNMP polling status and if everything is working you will see only succeeded status of polling. If something is going wrong you will see also another status (like on screenshot), then use troubleshooting docs for that

Walk dashboards

To check that walk on your device is working correctly first of all check SNMP schedule of walk tasks dashboard. Using this chart you can understand when SC4SNMP scheduled walk for your SNMP device last time. The process works if it runs regularly.

After double-checking that SC4SNMP scheduled walk tasks for your SNMP device we need to be sure walk is working. For that look at another dashboard SNMP walk status and if everything is working you will see only succeeded status of walk. If something is going wrong you will see also another status (like on screenshot), then use troubleshooting docs for that

Trap dashboards

First of all check SNMP traps authorisation dashboard, if you see only succeeded status it means that authorisation is configured correctly, otherwise please use troubleshooting docs for that.

After checking that we have not any authorisation traps issues we can check that trap tasks are working correctly. For that we need to go SNMP trap status dashboard, if we have only succeeded status it means that everything is working, otherwise we will see information with another status.

Other dashboards

We also have tasks that will be a callback for walk and poll. For example send will publish result in Splunk. We need to be sure that after successful walk and poll this callbacks finished. Please check that we have only successful status for this tasks.
