 Description   

Request ZBXNEXT-98 introduced into Zabbix 2.2.3 a way to query multiple SNMP variables at once. After that, it was discovered that not all devices are capable of dealing properly with requests with multiple variable bindings, so ZBXNEXT-2301 was implemented for Zabbix 2.4.0, which allows to switch SNMP bulk off for a particular interface.

However, Zabbix 2.2 is an LTS release, so there should be a convenient way to switch SNMP bulk off, without applying the patch from ZBXNEXT-2301. It was suggested by shad0w in ZBXNEXT-2301 to have an option --without-snmp-bulk for ./configure, which we think is actually a good idea.

It should be fixed by adding a new configuration parameter for server and proxy 2.2.x.

(1) The following pages already mention EnableBulkRequests configuration parameter. If we decide on a different name when implementing this task, these pages have to be updated:

<richlv> they seem to mention EnableSNMPBulk now

wiper renamed to EnableSNMPBulkRequests. Added to documentation:

Fixed in development branch svn://svn.zabbix.com/branches/dev/ZBXNEXT-2478

(2) Please take a look at r49916. I have added a check for CONFIG_SNMP_BULK_REQUESTS in DCconfig_update_interface_snmp_stats(), in the same way as it was done for DCconfig_get_interface_snmp_stats_nolock(). It also fixes configuration file formatting a bit.

wiper Thanks, CLOSED
