Hi
I've a PRTG deployment with approximatelly 800+ sensors. Since about 2 months I'm experiencing timeouts with the snmp sensors of any device, it's beacoming very anoying because sometimes those sensors go down and inmediately after go up again. Here are a few log examples:
01/03/2018 16:42:50 hostname1 SNMP System Uptime Uptime Up 55 d 01/03/2018 16:42:50 hostname1 SNMP System Uptime Uptime Warning No response (check: firewalls, routing, snmp settings of device, IPs, SNMP version, community, passwords etc) (SNMP error # -2003) 01/03/2018 16:37:36 hostname2 SNMP CPU Load CPU Load Up 7 % 01/03/2018 16:37:36 hostname2 SNMP CPU Load CPU Load Warning No response (check: firewalls, routing, snmp settings of device, IPs, SNMP version, community, passwords etc) (SNMP error # -2003)
As you can see here there is a Warning event for a non responsive snmp check, but inmediately after and with the same time signature there is a record with the snmp response.
This is just an example, I'm having hundreds of those a day.
I've increased the probe's host memory and cpu to discard a performance bottleneck. Any suggestions on were could be the problem or what can I check?.
Thanks,
Nicolas.

Hello Stephan
I'm not using SNMPv3. I'll try your suggestion to increase the SNMP delay and will let you know the result. Thanks,
Nicolas.

Hi Stephan
During this week I tried your suggestion to increase the SNMP delay but that didn't seam to resolve this problem. Now I've installed a new probe on another VM and moved most of the devices to it, as of this change the SNMP timeout error is gone. Could there be some problem hosting a probe on the same prtg server?. Thanks,
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,
Are you using SNMPv3 by any chance? Did you already try to increase the SNMP delay within the devices to see if it's a load issue?
Kind regards,
