Can you provide a screen capture of what you are trying to do and post it here?
Did you re-run the Network Switch / Router Wizard again and did it work for you?

Yes.
This screen shot is of a different host. I restored my VM to a prior snap shot and started over.

No, but I did get it to work by creating a custom .cfg in the /static dir.

Thanks.

If you want to monitor a Switches / Routers ports for bandwidth and status, you will have to run the Network Switch / Router Wizard to do that.
When that wizard is run, it creates configuration files that are just for that one device so to monitor multiple devices, you will have to rum the wizard for each one.
Please run the Wizard and if you have any errors, post a screen capture of it.

I did that. The problem I was having is that I was attempting to pass arguments to check_snmp. I know the screen shot I sent you is not from the switch/router wizard. I sent it as an example of what I was trying to do IN the switch/router wizard. The thing is, that I couldn't get my arguments saved in the command line.

The Network Switch / Router wizard does not use the check_snmp plugin so those arguments will not work.

One thing, you should not be editing the configuration files from the command line and they will get over written when an Apply Config is run in the XI GUI.
All command / settings should be done in the Core Config Manager. The only exception is the static folder.
