SolarWinds technical trainer Cheryl Nomanson presents a systematic approach to optimizing and building custom SNMP pollers. The tutorial walks through a step-by-step process starting with adding devices for SNMP monitoring using default pollers, then identifying missing metrics and checking if the required OIDs exist. If OIDs don't exist, she explains how to use alternative OIDs or data transformation tools.

This training video from SolarWinds Academy provides a high-level overview of how the alerting process works within SolarWinds software. Technical trainer Cheryl Nomanson explains the step-by-step workflow, starting with the alerting engine continuously scanning the database for conditions that meet alert trigger thresholds. She covers how triggered elements are evaluated for suppressions (like time-of-day restrictions and scoping), and explains that only fully qualified conditions become actual alerts. The video details how alerts always display in the web console and may trigger additional actions like emails or scripts.
