Re: [NV-L] Status/Config Polling of non-snmp nodes and netmon performance

[Francois Le Hir <flehir@ca.ibm.com>]

That's my understanding exactly.
Every 24 hours (by default), netmon will do a configuration polling of the
node. It will try to talk snmp to the object with the community string
available, using the global default if nothing else. If -h is specified for
netmon, it will try every community string in CommunityName.conf.

If you want to prevent any snmp, you should try the "^" in netmon.seed and
it will probably do it.

Netmon by default doesn't try snmp when it is restarted (unless the object
has been specified as a seed entry)

Per previous posts and documentation,  Netview will use ICMP only to poll
NON-SNMP nodes for status. However, will it still try to perform a
configuration check (which is done via SNMP) per snmp.conf's time intervals
for "Configuration Polling Intervals".


I will probably be faced with adding several nodes to be monitored that
will not support SNMP (security reasons). My concern/question is,  would
these non-SNMP nodes cause netmon to slow down waiting on SNMP to time out
when it is restarted and it performs timed configuration checks. If I
understand correctly, netmon will still check nodes for SNMP when it is
restarted and during Configuration polling intervals.


Could someone please advise.
