SNMP is just the alert tirgger.
You'll need a irule or policy to act on it. If that is possible.
It's not something i have done before.

    Hi PSFletchTheTek,

    It's a monitor and then I would exprect that when reaching the treshold, it should deactivate the node on which it's applied. In the same way it does for any other monitor like HTTP that put the node down when it does not answer the configured return code.
    Strange that I would need to use an irule or policy for that.

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards.

      SNMP is design for external monitoring.
      HTTP or pool based monitoring is internal monitoring for the f5 to action.

      They are different things, but you might be able to get a irule that looks for a log saying the snmp has been triggered and action something. But that's not my area of knowledge.
