Spine SNMP timeout

Post by sbotnick »

Hello,

IIRC, I read somewhere that Spine does not honor the host SNMP timeout setting and has a hard setting of 1 second. Is this correct?

If this is correct, I'd like to submit a feature request for Spine to have either a configurable global SNMP timeout or honor the host configuration timeout.

Why? I have low processing power devices on high latency satellite links and they have a low hit-rate on device polls with Spine (retries set at 3.) When I use the cmd.php poller with 2 or 3 second timeouts, my hit rate is almost 100% but I am worried about performance.

It is not correct. Use wireshark to track the timing on the UDP port 161 traffic.
