Custom Property - disable SNMP polling.

Any chance there is a custom property to disable snmp on devices/groups? Similar to the “addCategory_NoPing”….but for SNMP.

    We’ve implemented this using groups at the top level of our device tree.  an “Exclude SNMP” group there which can be a dynamic group based on a category (perhaps manually added, or through a property source - just nothing inherited) can then have any SNMP DS manually disabled in the alert  tuning tab.

    We use a static group called “Alert Tuning by Type” with dynamic groups inside that to perform specific changes we need for those classes of servers we deem necessary… i.e. pagefile ratios of 1:1 for all servers, but SQL gets 1.5:1 to support how frequently SQL servers ride the line).

    This would be where we turn off DS entirely, Alerts, or specific thresholds.
