Re: [mrtg] Can Mrtg cause a Router to crash because of the snmp querys? If your network is so overloaded that a SNMP query per device every 5 minutes causes an implosion, I’d skip the MRTG and re-engineer your network! SNMP is very low priority and should in no way collapse your network.

There was an argument about creating this Mrtg-Server, some people claim it would be suicidal, because many of the routers and switches operates with heavy traffic and cpu load (about 75-85%) and querying these elements every 5 minutes would collapse the network. Can somebody give me some feedback on this, I personally dont believe that querying through snmp every 5 minutes can cause such damage on the network, even if they are on high capacity, i think maybe it could cause a small delay on the query but nothing else, right?. I have allready worked in a smaller enviourment and had no problems, but I need some technical arguments to convince these guys, any ideas? regards. JB
