Thanks for that hint! I was able to replicate the issue with snmpbulkwalk when changing the timeout value. As you can see in the config I quoted before someone had raised it in snmp_exporter to a quite high value(30s) a long time ago, for unknown reasons. Turning that down to 15s alleviated the issue. As for why it has to retry for that specific device so much remains a mystery but off topic for this list... :) Regards, Wilhelm -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prometheus Users" group.
