[Devmon] curious behaviour

[Mark J. <mj...@mn...>]

We have a server here that has been running devmon for a couple years.  We
recently added a few extreme network switches to the mix of devices being
polled.  If I restart the devmon process then I get 1 successful poles of
the switches and info send to xymon.   Then it does not update anymore for
about 3 polls then goes to the error below.  But not for all tests in the
template.

 

Missing repeater data for primary OID ifName

 

By increasing the number of max failed queries in the snmp module I was able
to allow some parts of the template to work.

 

The part I don't understand is if I run the queries manually they don't fail
and obviously they don't fail the first time devmon runs only thereafter.

 

If someone can give me some clue as to where to look it would be very
appreciated.
