I get this with all my snmp pollers. Especially a few weeks back when one of them went nuts and looped while doing discovery of the media2ip table. Ended up driving the IPSNMP process CPU on the cisco switch very high. So... I am looking to track the amount of SNMP traffic by my snmp pollers. They are on a mix of windows and unix. products like mrtg, concord, netview, spectrum, etc... 1) I was going to graph the mib2 snmp group - something like snmpInGetRequests. But none of my snmp agents on these servers return any values for the snmp group of mib2. sigh... 2) I have been looking instead at the icmp group , like icmpInMsgs . these seem to have values. but it is at all meaningful? my busiest poller seems to be at around 4/second. not great solutions. so, a question: When asked to track over time the snmp load of your pollers, what do you use? much thanks for any help Don Mahler SAIC /Telcordia -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
