Action

Description

DISABLE_COLLECTION

Disallow collecting performance metrics on the interface.

DISABLE_POLLING

Disallow SNMP polling on the interface.

DO_NOT_PERSIST

Prevent the SNMP interface from being added to the node.

ENABLE_COLLECTION

Allow collecting performance metrics on the interface.

ENABLE_POLLING

Allow SNMP polling on the interface.

Another use of this policy is to mark interfaces for polling by the SNMP Interface Poller. The SNMP Interface Poller is a separate daemon that is disabled by default. For this daemon to do any work, some SNMP interfaces need to be selected for polling.

Use the ENABLE_POLLING and DISABLE_POLLING actions available in this policy to manage which SNMP interfaces this daemon polls.
