I did put in the path for snmpbulkwalk, but I got the same results (new config_settings.php and snmp.php). The changes you are making - are they going to work with both pollers, or just with the cactid poller? Just curious, since I can't use the Cactid poller for some reason.. Thanks,

Please increase your maximum memory in the php.ini file to something like 64mbytes. Then restart your web server.

Increasead the meory to 64MB as requested but it still does not do a sucsessful verbose query and comes back with a blank page as te result.

Clive,

I am working with another user on this same issue. You need to first implement the snmpbulkwalk patch that I have posted here to the forum and then increase your maximum php runtime parameter in php.ini to some thing like 900 seconds. Then, make sure the host is a snmpV2 host. Don't forget to restart your web server after making the changes.

To find the article, you may have to google it on "snmpbulkwalk". This is very current.

Well guys the news is good

Eureka as another famous person once said

What I did was as follows
Implemented the new snmp.php and config_settings.php files in this thread
Added the path to the snmpbulwalk through the GUI iguration part of cacti
Increased the maximum memory a process can use as recommended in this thread from 8 to 64Mb
Used snmp v2 to query the host when greating the device instead of snmp v1

It all works now and is super quick. There was no need to change any of the timeout settings as recomended in the thread

Thanks for all the support

Regards
Clive

YES!!!!!!!! That did it. Thank you everyone! (Larry

. That is going to be a difficult one to fix with a new release of Cacti... - or is it?? Seamed to have been a PHP problem, not a Cacti one. Thanks again all.

The permanent fix, the one that you don't need the snmp??? binaries, is realy a PHP issue. I have worked with the developer of the php_snmp libraries and starting in PHP 5.1, the default method will be "bulk" when using snmpv2 or v3. The workaround is in both the next minor release of Cacti 0.8.6h and 0.9.
