Check_MK Werk 8262: It's now possible to limit SNMP walks to middle ranges of tables

ID: 8262 Title: It's now possible to limit SNMP walks to middle ranges of tables Component: inline-snmp Level: 1 Class: New feature Version: 1.2.7i3 The rule "Limit SNMP OID Ranges for Bulkwalks" is available in Check_MK since some time, but it was only possible to define OID ranges from the start and end of the SNMP tables. Now it is possible to define ranges starting at a specified offset. This rule can be used to not fetch whole SNMP tables which might be useful to save prevent Check_MK from fetching large SNMP tables. This is used to reduce overhead and improve the performance of SNMP communication. Normally this is useful when monitoring network switches having a large number of interfaces.
