What can you use custom pollers for? Select what doesn't apply.

• A. Monitor capacity usage trends on the network
• B. Poll devices that are not natively supported by standard pollers
• C. Collect performance data from custom scripts
• D. Extend polling to non-standard metrics

Answer: (A)

Custom pollers are for bringing in data that isn’t covered by the built-in pollers. They let you collect information from devices that aren’t supported out of the box, pull in data from your own scripts, and extend polling to metrics that aren’t part of the standard set. Monitoring capacity usage trends on the network is typically handled by the standard pollers using common metrics like interface utilization, CPU, and memory. That’s why this option doesn’t apply to custom pollers. The other uses—polling devices not natively supported, collecting data from custom scripts, and extending polling to non-standard metrics—are valid ways to use custom pollers.
