Slowing down snmpget ??

Post by mzac »

This may sound strange, but is there any way to slow down snmpget? I have some computers at home over my isdn line and I also use the isdn for video broadcast and evertime my cacti runs from my lan at work over my isdn it slows down my video broadcast. So is there a way I can tell snmpget to sleep for say a second or so between gets to it doesn't flood my line??

If you are not polling a lot of items, the easiest thing to do would be to force a sleep for each SNMP polling item. You can do this by opening up cmd.php in a text editor. Now scroll down to line 46 at the "break;" and insert a new line that reads:

Code: Select all

sleep(1);
Now Cacti will sleep for one second after polling each SNMP item.
