SNMP scanner-new user questions

Hi,
First post and a couple of questions:
Can you deselect the default columns-like router or Sys ID or Uptime-just looking to cut down on the polling time and bandwidth?
Is the scanner multi-threaded?
When adding a custom OID, is it posible, now or in future releases, to attribute red/amber/green flags for certain variables that would fall outside of a certian threshold window?
Can the app be scheduled to run at a scheduled time-like as a Windows task?

Thanks

Sandy

No.

Yes.

No, SNMP Scanner is a scanner, not monitor.

Can the app be scheduled to run at a scheduled time-like as a Windows task?

You can start IP-Tools on schedule. But there are no script language that can be used to program application.
Looks like you need monitor? We have another product - Advanced Host Monitor
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/index.htm
It supports 55 test methods including SNMP and Traffic Monitor tests.

Alex

Alex,
Thanks-I'll be purchasing a version as the SNMP scanner is just what I need-how hard would it be to have the export function have an option to export as a .csv file?

Thanks

csv? On the one hand its not a problem, but on the other hand we will need to add this option for all utilities (at least for all scanners). Its more work...
