I understand that there is some timeout value between master agent and my sub-agent (default 1 second?). I also have timeout between sub-agent and the application that is being monitored. The client (snmpget/snmpwalk) also has time out (via -t option). What guidelines should I follow to set various timeouts in this situation? Can they be set independently without causing timeouts? For example, between sub-agent and monitored application, the timeout is set to 60 seconds(sometimes, application is so busy it can take that long to respond to sub-agent). Between master and sub-agent, default time out is 1 second . snmpwalk command has 1000 seconds timeout. Does these values make sense?
agentxRetries , agentxPingInterval, agentxTimeout Do these 3 paramters work properly in version 5.2.1? agentXRetries, agentXTimeout are to control master agent (snmpd.conf) only? I understand 5.2.1 is not the latest one. Does the current latst version work the same as 5.2.1 in the area of agentX support? Do u recommend upgrading to latest version? (my main use of net-snmp is because of its agentX functionality - I have only 1 MIB, only 1 sub-agent). 5.2.1 Thanks Steve --- Wes Hardaker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >>>>> On Thu, 30 Mar 2006 16:17:27 -0800 (PST), > "Steve S.
