Hello,

We have a node that constantly falls offline up to 10 times a day. I wanted to create a script that can poll a node. I believe once I have a script, I can tell it to run when the node is "down". I just cannot find anything on how to poll the status form a script. I found how to return the current status but not how to use snmp to poll a new status. Anyone have any ideas?

It's not possible to initiate node polling for a script. However, there is an option to change polling interval for a specific node, so you can set status polling interval to e.g. 10 or even 5 seconds for the problematic node. For this, create a custom attribute on the node with name
SysConfig:Objects.StatusPollingInterval
and value for the interval in seconds. Status, configuration, discovery, icmp, tpology, routing, autobind intervals are supported to specify that way.

Perfect! Thank you so much for your help!
