Monitoring Meraki switches with Solarwinds, any gotchas?

We have around 20 Meraki sites (switches, not waps) that we monitor through Solarwinds via snmp polling.

Quite often Solarwinds will report that a device is down when Meraki says it is not. (I can ping the device, see that all is green on Meraki's dashboard, and reach devices sitting behind the device Solarwinds believes is down.)

This keeps happening across different sites and I'm a bit at a loss. Has anyone else run into a similar scenario or have any general gotchas I should be aware of with using Solarwinds SNMP polling in combination with Meraki switches?

Edit It looks like Status & Response Time is being monitored by ICMP, not SNMP, even though polling is SNMP, so I'm trying to see if changing that to also be SNMP might resolve the issue.
