Change line 39 in the file $ZENHOME/Products/ZenRRD/zenperfsnmp.py to be smaller than 40 (the current max value). 512 bytes for the buffer, that's skimpy.

I'm receiving the following messages from a pair of ASA 5510's in failover

"incoming SNMP request (678 bytes) from IP address 10.108.0.10 Port 25009 Interface "mngmt" exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP request. "


This is what Cisco has to say about that:


"
%PIX-3-212005: incoming SNMP request (number bytes) on interface int_name
exceeds data buffer size, discarding this SNMP request.

Explanation This is an SNMP message. This message reports that the length of the incoming SNMP request, destined for the PIX Firewall, exceeds the size of the internal data buffer (512 bytes) used for storing the request during internal processing; therefore, PIX Firewall is unable to process this request. This does not affect the SNMP traffic passing through the PIX
Firewall via any interface.

Action Have the SNMP management station resend the request with a shorter
length, for example, instead of querying multiple MIB variables in one
request, try querying only one MIB variable in a request. This may involve
modifying the configuration of the SNMP manager software.
"

Is there a way to force splitting the snmp request in smaller packets?
