Issue/Introduction

How do you disable SNMP "getBulk" requests in Smarts IP for specific devices by sysOID?

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

To disable the SNMP "getbulk" requests only for specific devices by sysOID in Smarts IP, set the "GetBulkPattern" parameter to FALSE in the tpmgr-param.conf file (BASEDIR/smarts/conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf). The syntax for this parameter is as follows:

  1.  <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/sm_edit conf/discovery/tpmgr-param.conf
  2. GetBulkPattern-<SysOID> <TRUE/FALSE>

    Example:
    GetBulkPattern-.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.51 FALSE

  3. <BASEDIR>/IPsmarts/bin/sm_tpmgr -s <domain> --load-conf=tpmgr-param.conf
  4. Rediscover the device 

Additional Information

This setting overrides the value of SNMPGetBulkEnabled specified in discovery.conf
