    Hello Team

     

    Is there any other probe other than rsp to discover the windows/unix machine for monitoring as an agentless? Our mangement not allowing to go for rsp probe as it require domain credentials to discover the machines and they are not willing to move with this.

     

    Please let me know if there is another way to do this.

    Hello.

    SNMPcollector is able to monitor servers (when SNMP-agent is running) remotely.

    However in my opinion, it is not best practical since SNMPcollector is designed to monitor network devices.

    Hello.

    Please confirm if SNMP-agent is up running and accessible using the community string from SNMPcollector probe robot.

    Dear La-Qa

     

    can you please increase the log level of the probe to 3, force a rediscovery of this profile (via right-click in admin console) and then check the log for the exact error? Also, can you telnet to that ip/snmp port from the probe machine ?

     

    Kind Regards,
