Hi
I am getting these errors while polling a SNMP device.
I am able to get the values for systemSummaryAlarm() and moduleInfoTable(), but most of the time I get this TOO BIG error :

what does this mean?
Thanks
In short TOO BIG means that the SNMP request received by the SNMP Agent is too big and the agent is not able to process the request (can happen on devices with limited resources).
Here in your case, you will probably have too many SNMP Gets in one request going to the device. So probably you'll have to limit the number of parameters in that group giving problems, or worst-case fall back on single Gets if the device does not even support multiple Gets in one SNMP request.
