Hmm, sometimes you don’t have the choice… I have these SNMP problems with management boards of not-so-cheap servers too. For a long time, I tried to tweak time values, bulk mode, different SNMP protocol versions – nothing really helped. Finally, I have set the check count so the first failure will not cause notifications – it will switch to OK with 99% certainty on next invocation.
