Does observium do a full snmp walk each time the poller for stats run?
We are seeing a high load/ports failing on our OOB cisco routers/switches (which are not high-end devices), when we have observium monitoring it.
Thanks!

No, that would be incredibly stupid.
You can see what we're querying by either running the poller with -d, or by using wireshark.

High load is no problem, why have a CPU if it's not doing anything? Schedulers exist for this.
"ports failing" just sounds like some generic bullshit.
