Well, I'll put it this way
The more OIDs Zenoss probes the more work your system has to do. If you end up probing more OIDs than your system can support then you'll have to reduce the polling cycle time to make up for that or you'll have to distribute collectors. As far as your clients, they load mibs when snmpd is launched. I'm not sure how much memory each individual mib takes but you could test by starting snmpd without the mib and see what happens. I think its pretty negligible for the most part but I could see issues if you had a resource-limited embedded device. I would test most likely by running snmpd from the command line, there's a flag that will prohibit mibs from being loaded. Alternatively there's a directory full of mibs that automatically loaded, just rename one of those to a hidden file and relaunch. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=27302#27302 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
