SNMP Poll not found in GUI

Evaluating Nagios XI on Centos7 64-bit running in AWS, XLarge instance.

I set up a Host Template to poll an OID for OutOctets for an interface using check_snmp. I am polling the following OID: 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16

The poll works when I run the 'Run Check Command' in the template. Below is the return from the test:
SNMP OK - 496466682 | iso.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.9=496466682c

I saved the template and applied it to the Hostgroup I want polled. When I look at one of the hosts that should be polled I cannot see any indication that the polling is happening. I expected to see metrics and a status of the polling, but I do not see anything anywhere in the GUI. I applied the config after each change, so it is not that.

What is the process for extracting values from received poll data? How can I check that this polling is really happening?

Can you please show the complete check you are running?

Can you PM me your Profile? You can download it by going to Admin > System Config > System Profile and click the ***Download Profile*** button towards the top. If for whatever reason you *cannot* download the profile, please put the output of View System Info (5.3.4+, Show Profile if older) in the thread (that will at least get us some info). This will give us access to many of the logs we would otherwise ask for individually. If security is a concern, you can unzip the profile take out what you like, and then zip it up again. We may end up needing something you remove, but we can ask for that specifically.

After you PM the profile, please update this thread. Updating this thread is the only way for it to show back up on our dashboard.
