My god, you are right.
in ovtopodump the timeout value is only 3 sec, whereas I desperately tried
to put it to 10 s in snmp options.
But, is there another way than delete the object? I have many to change.

Do you think it's normal that snmp options does not work?

That does not make sense to me!

The time out values are used from OVTOPODUMP not from XNMSNMPCONF (just
tested this the other day as Paul can attest)

Delete and rediscover the object after you have updated XNMSNMPCONF and the
changes to the timeout/retries will be there.

Am I sure?  Yes.  It has always been so and it is documented as such in
the books we ship.

xnmsnmpconf controls how often netmon status polls, which is by ping, as
well as how it does SNMP requests, for config checks.
We are talking about netmon's pings are we not?  What did you change in
xnmsnmpconf?

The only thing I can think of is that is it may take a ping cycle to get
the values re-set.  If netmon already has a ping cycle for this object
going, then that will have to expire first.

How are you determining that it is not working?

that's what I tried before sending the question. But
it did not have any effect. Are you sure the timeout
we specify in snmpconf is not just for snmp requests
and does not apply to the ping command?
Thanks
