There is two main types of SNMP checks. There is your SNMP Get/Walk and there is SNMP Traps. They work very differently. SNMP Get/Walk is where LogicMonitor will directly query your device for state/performance data, this is what most of LogicMonitor wants to use, is the best option and what !snmpwalk does. There is also SNMP Traps where you setup the device to send out alerts to the monitoring system. The setup for each of these are completely different. Many devices support both but some devices only support SNMP Traps (looking at you EMC).
If the device supports SNMP Get/Walk, there is likely a section for this on the device config separate from the SNMP Trap section. Also you may need to white-list the IP address of the collector on the device.
If the device only supports SNMP Trap, you can still set it up in LogicMonitor but it's far more limited: https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/eventsources/types-of-events/snmp-trap-monitoring/
