SNMP or API-based monitoring for Viptela devices
For Viptela devices, you can poll nodes via a combination of SNMP and API nodes or using only API.
-
SNMP nodes poll data via SNMP and 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. Viptela (Cisco) cEdge devices are polled only using API.
