I question the existence of a valid scenario where snmpd can't reply to sysDescr but the server isn't considered broken.
You're also talking about the /old/ alerting system, which is deprecated and universally hated and shunned. :>

Is there a way to disable alerts for ping when snmpd isn't accessible? We get lots of false alerts when servers are under high load. We basically just want to be notified if a host is actually down (not pinging) and not when snmpd chokes out.
Thanks!
