Configuration
Connections
This connector uses two Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connections. To facilitate network redundancy, the device's two IP interfaces should be filled in during element creation. Starting from the 1.0.1.x range, an additional HTTP connection is used to retrieve data from the API.

- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
- IP port: The IP port of the destination (default: 161).
SNMP Settings:

HTTP CONNECTION:
- IP address/host: The polling IP or URL of the destination.
