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.

Thank you for engaging with our community!
Unfortunately (to my knowledge) we don’t have a property like this for SNMP or any other protocol.
The reason NoPing works is because only 1 out of the box DataSource collects data via the PING method (2 including PingMulti- which is manually enabled anyway), and it was straight forward to add the syntax for “doesn’t have NoPing” to the AppliesTo of that one DataSource. In other words, the Ping DataSource is removed via AppliesTo on the frontend and not by a backend process.
This would not be as easily possible for SNMP because there are a significant number of DataSources using this method; each would require updating with a new AppliesTo. Furthermore, many SNMP queries are initiated via scripted collection which would be almost impossible to track.
In order to disable SNMP polling for a device or group, you would need to manually disable monitoring for that module which does require explicit knowledge of any SNMP based module I’m afraid.
