Agentless ICMP
-
-
Yes, it's possible.
You can do it in a two ways:
-
Just add device you wish to poll as a node. If node doesn't have neither NetXMS agent nor SNMP agent, NetXMS server will use ICMP ping to determine is it responding or not and change status accordingly.
-
Load PING subagent on any managed node, and use any of ICMP.xxx parameters to send ICMP pings. In this case, you can monitor not only reachable/unreachable status, but also ping response times. You can find additional information about PING subagent here: https://www.netxms.org/documentation/ping_subagent.shtml.

But then how can we measure the exact latency and/or packet losses if I use method 1?
-
You cannot measure latency or packet loss with method 1. If you need it, you should use method 2.
