Thanks for your fast help! So the difference between discovery and polling is: * discovery checks ports and snmp basic data like system name etc. * polling checks response time and snmp measurement data like traffic usage,...
I was a little bit confused because I initially thought that all snmp data would go into polling. So name changes would be like changes in usage or transmitted bytes..... Thanks for the well done tool. I am using it under Windows. What is the reason that network auto discovery does not work under Windows? Thanks again, J.
