GetBulk()/walk[] drops all the data if retries reached limit (5) while only few OID returned no value leaving dependent items without data

    • Type: Problem report
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Critical
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: 7.0.20, 7.4.4, 8.0.0alpha1
    • Component/s: Proxy (P), Server (S)
    • None
    • Environment:
      RHEL9/Zabbix 7.4
    • Support backlog

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. start use walk[] based template against SNMP device
      2. receive 'only partial data received, cannot retrieve OID:'
      3. check trace logs of the snmp poller - only some OID returned nothing, result - all dependent items has no recent data

      Expected:

      • Configurable retries count, suggestion is to reuse 'Max repetition count' knob and rename it to 'Max repetition/retries' count, also there is a related ZBXNEXT-10111 (for mobile networks better to reduce retries)
      • Modify LLD part logic, so the partial/inconsistent received data will be skipped for LLD and even partial data will populate values for dependent items.
