Issue/Introduction

Where can SNMP timeouts and Retries for a device be configured in CAPM?

Environment

Dx NetOps Performance Management 20.2 or later

Resolution

SNMP Timeouts and retries are configured in the SNMP profile as noted here:

TechDocs : DX NetOps CAPM 22.2 : Manage SNMP Profiles - Modify the Timeout and Retries Parameters

Please note that a REST client is needed, and a customer header needs to be created in the REST client, as follows

Header name: content-type
Value.     : application/xml

You would set up the desired values in the SNMP profile and assign that to the device on the Data Aggregator device administration page and/or discover the device using that SNMP profile
