Here are a few questions from the live airing. Enjoy!

Q: What do you recommend as a SNMP Poller?

A: Splunk Connect for SNMP is a poller implementation.

Q: Does this actively poll (snmp get) or is this only for receiving traps?

A: We do both, accept traps and poll devices for metrics (getbulk/get).
