Hi Everyone,
I'm interested in increasing the timeout of the snmp polling to more than 120000ms (in this case polling a snmp table) to complete my testing, since the testing environment is really slow and I want to test the actual environment and not a simulation.
I know for HTTP that is configurable in the session, overriding the element settings value and offering a higher max limit, however for SNMP I haven't found a way to do this.
Is that possible? If so, can I set it for the table polling only or will it apply to all SNMP polling?
Thanks
Hi,
It is not possible to override the element settings. This is one setting that is read out directly by the SLSNMPManager process and is applicable for all polling of the entire element.
If this is for testing purposes only then the element could be exported through csv, adapt the timeoutvalue, and import the csv again. That will make it further impossible though to modify any other settings in the Cube UI without having the timeoutvalue within the allowed limit. I would not advice to do this on a production environment.
Note that the timeout setting is the timeout value for performing one SNMP request and receiving the SNMP response, this is not the timeout where the entire table would have to be retrieved. If it takes more than 2 minutes just to retrieve one response, then it will take a huge amount of time to poll an entire table...
Regards,
