If you have $ entries in your netmon.seed file then ping should not be used (unless an operator uses the Test -> Ping menu). The way I usually check is with the netmon -a commands:
netmon -a 8            shows nodes being status polled with SNMP
netmon -a 12 shows netmon's ping list (if status polls use SNMP, the first field should be a very large number)
netmon -a 16          shows netmon's SNMP list

All output is in /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace.

Cheers,
Jane

Hello, I want to use SNMP only not SNMP and icmp with NetView to prevent double traffic

I found out that /usr/OV/bin/ovtopodump -rl <device name> returns some data which contains "SNMP STATUS POLL: MAXIMUM TIME" which means that the device is configured for ICMP requests

My question here: Does this device also configured for SNMP requests since I 
added it to the seedfile with $ in the front of the device name ?

The second question is that how I turn the ICMP request off and just keep the 
SNMP request?

I guess by issuing the following command Netmon -M0?

Is that right?
