efficiency in SNMP-requests
Hey everyone,
first of all I want to tell you, that I really like observium. It's a great tool and I really enjoy using it.
There is one disadvantage, that a colleague of mine from our networking department told me. We get log-Entries in our firewall for each SNMP-request. Would it be possible to do a single SNMP request to get all Data? Is there a config setting? Or is it planned to do this?
It would really help, because I had to adjust the interval to a longer time as a first measure.

No, this is not and will not be impossible. First course of action: fix your firewall logging.

All they're doing by logging individually passed traffic like that is creating a really sweet DoS on themselves the first time something goes haywire, thats a really *broken* setup. Further, SNMP is a UDP based protocol and doesn't even have much concept of bundling multiple requests into a single packet.
