Hello, I just want to confirm that whether the UDP 161 port is available not . We don't need to know if the service is up or not.
Like you mentioned , I think the best way is to access to the agent. However, is there any plugin that just confirms that the UDP 161 port is available or not ? If no, I will use the check_snmp and access to the agent.
