      Unable to poll SNMP v3 devices with more than 1 poller being enabled on either server or proxy. With a single poller we are able to get some results back but the poller process is being overworked. (Reported in Zabbix)

      We also get gappy data from our SNMP v3 devices, but we do not experience this on Agent based host data

      Reducing the pollers to 1 has been suggested throughout the community but is not sustainable for the size of our estate.

      Scaling the proxies up to 2 causes Authentication failures on the server and massive loss of incoming data streams.

      I have TCPdumped the outgoing traffic from the server when 1 and 5 pollers and with a single poller the SNMP information is sent out correctly, but with 5 pollers the SNMP information is sent incorrectly (I have attached both traces).

      The switches are working fine I can SNMPwalk from the service/proxy directly and retrieve data without fail.

      We use Authpriv - AES/SHA
