Monitoring via traps

Post by starcraft04 »

Hi all,

do you know if it is possible to monitor everything through traps instead of polling?

Many thanks for your help,

John.

Monitor in what sense.....

As in trouble or thresholds, yes, traps are better, because you don't have to poll. But, as the base of Cacti, which is statistical monitoring, no, traps are not good, polling is better.
