SNMP or API-based monitoring for VeloCloud devices
For VeloCloud devices, you can poll nodes via a combination of SNMP and API nodes or using only API.
-
SNMP nodes poll basic details via SNMP and SD-WAN data via API.
-
API-only nodes use API polling for both basic details and SD-WAN details.
SolarWinds recommends API-only polling when users cannot or do not want to poll device nodes via SNMP. API-only polling provides fewer details.
