[nv-l] snmpCollect bandwidth on NT?

["Karl Prinelle" <Karl.Prinelle@elyzium.co.uk>]

Hi list,

 

NV: 7.1.2, w2k sp2.  1way ~1.7Ghz cpu, 1Gb ram

 

I've been tracing my snmpcollect & I keep getting defferred collections for devices.  I'm (trying to) collect 3 mib values (2 of them collect "all instances" from the device, but there are only up to 4 instances) from about 40 devices with a 10 min polling interval.  I've noticed that some devices are getting up to 7-8 consecutive deferrals.

 

The log shows NV making about 10-15 polls and defferring the rest.  I've adjusted down the retry interval to be 1 min (impatient testing) and thinking that having a retry less than the polling interval will give it a chance to catch up within the interval. This seems to have helped it reduce the number of consecutive defferrals, but I still get a fair few and it's likely I will need to increse the number of collections beyond the simple ones I'm grabbing now.

 

Is there a planning tool/guideline/general practice about how many collections can be made in what interval on w2k?  Is it an OS thing?  The machine isn't a multi-processor (didn't think NV on NT would make use of it).  There is nothing else running on this machine either.

 

thanks in advance.

 

Karl
