Witness/Rax ,
I have been getting a good number of partial results from a bunch of my devices that I have verified to be good through running snmpget seperately that the OID is correct and returning good data.

Thanks.
I talking with TheWitness I realized that I was getting these errors due to SNMP timeouts due to slow response times from devices across some slow WAN connections. I have since adjusted the SNMP timeouts and everything is running cleanly.

With that in mind, I was thinking....

Would it be possible to determine the SNMP timeout value from the ping response times that are done to check the up/down status of the host? I know that this could be helpful to a large environment that might have a dynamic setup where these could change depending connectivity status, i.e. FR, ISDN, VPN, HDLC, etc., and wide range of response times.

I think that these are now stored and I was curious if this could be used to determine these timeouts? I think that this could make a more dynamic tool. Granted I say this with no knowledge of how difficult or even possible it might be.
