SNMP Fetchers¶

An SNMP fetcher allows you to make SNMP queries to network devices to get responses into LogPoint. You need an SNMP policy to make an SNMP walk query. An SNMP policy is a set of OIDs and their query time intervals.

1. Go to Configure >> Built-in Collectors/Fetchers >> SNMP Fetchers.

2. Select the LogPoint instances where you want to configure the SNMP fetcher.

3. Click Next.
