Basic
Automatic
This probe checks if the device responds to SNMP. If it does not, the probe is set to Ping/Echo.
Intermapper sends an SNMP GetNextRequest for the sysName, sysObjectID, and sysServices OIDs (1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.5, 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.2, and 1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.7, respectively) using the specified SNMP read-only community string. After a valid SNMP response is received, Intermapper sets the device's probe to SNMP. If not, the Ping/Echo probe is used.

Map Status
This probe allows Intermapper to monitor the state of a map running on an Intermapper server. Intermapper periodically queries the specified map and sets the device status to the status of the worst item on that map. Double-click the device to view specified map.
The easiest way to use this probe is to drag a map from the Map List to another editable map. You can also create a device using the DNS name or IP address of the Intermapper server containing the map or localhost for a local map. Specify the following:
Map Name - The name of the map on the remote server.
Username - A user name that has read-permission on the map.
Password - The password of the specified user.

Ping/Echo
This probe sends an ICMP echo request packet to the target device to determine if it is active and responding.
Number of Data Bytes - the number of bytes of ICMP data to send. By default, 20 bytes of data is sent. This value is between 16 bytes and 2000 bytes.
Data Pattern - the hexadecimal pattern repeated throughout the payload contents.
Tip: To send a 1500-byte IP packet to an IPv4 target, set the number of data bytes to 1472. To send the same IP packet size to an IPv6 target, set the number of data bytes to 1452.
Intermapper sends the ping packet and waits for a response for the specified Timeout. If no response is received within the specified time, Intermapper re-sends the echo request and waits again for the specified Timeout. When the probe reaches the device's limit of the number of pings to send (as determined by the device or map's limit) without receiving a response, the device status is changed to DOWN.
By default, the number of echo requests is 3 and the default timeout is 3 seconds. It can take up to 9 seconds to change a device status to DOWN.

SNMP Traffic
This probe retrieves system and traffic information from an SNMP-enabled device. This information comes from the system and interfaces groups of SNMP MIB-II.
It shows traffic (bytes/second, packets/second, and errors/minute) for each interface. Right-click a link to open the interface's Status window.
The probe also shows sysLocation, sysContact, and sysUptime from the system group in the device's Status window.
NOTE: This is exactly the same probe as the SNMP MIB-II probe found in earlier versions of Intermapper. It has been renamed to more accurately reflect its purpose.Filename: com.dartware.snmp
