Hello

Is it possible to add Dci to node that polls snmp but from custom ip:port? I cant add that custom ip directly since i have multiple nat-ed devices behind it. And i also dont want to create different zone for each device. Bonus points if that custom ip:port could be defined in node custom parameters.

1) Add new node without IP (or set it to 0.0.0.0), set correct SNMP port
2) Open node properties -> communications, set "Primary host name" to external IP and select checkbox "This is address of remote management node"
3) Do full configuration poll

For some reason i thought that multiple nodes with same ip cant be added, but if added as 0.0.0.0 first that did the trick. What exactly does "This is address of remote management node" checkbox do under the hood ?

It informs server that primary communication address does not belongs to the node itself but only used to communicate with the node somehow. So it is not added to internal indexes, search by this IP address will not return nodes where it is configured as "remote management address", it will not affect topology for such node.

Best regards,
Victor

Thanks for clarification.
