Tunable retry count for GLPI::Agent::SNMP::Live

[po1vo]

Your idea

I suggest making -retries option from Net::SNMP available. Let's call it snmp_retries and add to agent.conf

The reason is that some of requests to some of our equipment time out in the middle of response or don't respond at all. This results in incomplete and incorrect data, like missing MACs on all interfaces, which creates chaos inside GLPI.

The idea is a workaround, but at least it's something.

Hi @po1vo

I understand your concern.

Did you try to change hard-coded value here and here from 0 to a positive value ?

[po1vo]

Yes, and this fixed the issue for me.

Hi @po1vo

I just integrated your feature request in glpi-agent. Can I ask you to test it with next nightly build ?

The parameter is snmp-retries in configuration. It will be also supported by using --retries option with glpi-netdiscovery and glpi-netinventory scripts.
