Hi,
Well, the current IM Probe language does not allow for SNMP index walking,
unless you do an 'on demand' table listing.
It has come up many times before, so I guess it will always help to ask for it
again..
Unless you look into adding a SNMP demond extension serverside, with a custom
UID.. :-/
Regarding SecuritySpy: I would simply use a HTTP probe and monitor if they
webservice is running!
