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



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

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