I am using Zenoss Core 2.3.2 for monitoring around 80 Cisco boxes. Everything 
workes fine, except the following issue:

Today I started to poll another two devices for CPU load and memory status, 
only 4 OIDs per device, and following issues occured:

Zenperfsnmp increased its Cycle time from ~6 sec to over 100 sec. This is due 
to a couple of devices that generate "SNMP agent down" events and time out when 
scanned and collected.

I set detailed logging for zenperfsnmp, the log shows:

Code:

2009-02-03 20:00:05 INFO zen.zenperfsnmp: total=88 good=82 bad=0 time=2.369795
2009-02-03 20:00:06 INFO zen.zenperfsnmp: total=88 good=83 bad=0 time=3.207553
2009-02-03 20:01:23 INFO zen.zenperfsnmp: total=88 good=83 bad=1 time=80.062746
2009-02-03 20:01:23 WARNING zen.zenperfsnmp: SNMP agent down

2009-02-03 20:01:23 WARNING zen.zenperfsnmp: SNMP agent down
2009-02-03 20:01:43 INFO zen.zenperfsnmp: total=88 good=83 bad=3 time=100.078640
2009-02-03 20:01:43 WARNING zen.zenperfsnmp: SNMP agent down

2009-02-03 20:02:43 WARNING zen.zenperfsnmp: SNMP agent down




>From this I can read there is a problem, but I don't understand what it is and 
>why. Those devices with the "SNMP agent down" events: 
-there are no "bad OID" events for the devices
-the devices had been polled correctly for weeks before this problem occured
-they are reachable from the monitoring server (snmpwalk, v2c)
-they are a mix of 2950/3560/3750 switches, nothing obvious in this way

In general,
-only 13k OIDs are being polled, making no heavy load for the server
-going back removing the last steps does not stop this from happenning

Any ideas why this is happenning and what I should do about it? I feel the 
problem lies in the "bad=x" part of the log but I can't fix it on my own. 
Thanks a lot for your help.

Martin
