Hi Bruce and thanks for the quick response.
These Gen9's are a mix of RHEL6 and Windows 2016, and interestingly, both
behave the same. The RHEL boxen are running 'net-snmp' and for Windows
2016 it's the stock WIndows SNMP service. We don't do SNMP traps. These
machines also have the HP Service Pack for Proliant installed. The RHEL
config can be summarized as:
---
cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
dlmod cmaX /usr/lib64/libcmaX64.so
rocommunity secret
---
Thanks again

Hi all
All of our Gen9 servers are flicking between green and clear for Devmon
SNMP tests. (Posting here as Devmon seems a dead project.)
The attached screen region grab shows what I'm trying to say.
I've updated the firmware (including iLO) on one server and it made no
difference.
Anyone else seen this?
Thanks

I see a lot of odd things with devmon. I have seen an issue something like
on my Dell R710 with OMSA. It patches itself into snmpd via a loaded
library to report on Dell storage
and sometimes the response from that get's really slow and blocks response
to devmon. An update a while back to OMSA cleared that up.
I also have to run a cron job that does a kill -9 on it every two hours
and then restart it... It likes to gobble memory like it's going out of
style.
People DO respond on the devmon list, just a little slowly.
I run my devmon in multi node mode with MySQL backing. when I do see
gross errors like this I turn on debug and watch the devmon log to see what
errors are thrown.
What OS and SNMPD is running on the HP? Especially the SNMPD... It
matters. OS X and pFSense don't report some OIDs correctly due to the
snmpd they run. It's one of those
"snmpd/ya just gotta know about it" things.
