Have problem with snmp polling.
I have 140 servers, which cpu i must monitor, and use snmp polling for it. But from 140 servers, i get only 110-120. And after every restart of splunk, the number of servers change between 110-120. For example if taking from server A smnp logs, after restart it may not work.
And in splunkd.log getting:
05-20-2020 09:54:41.578 +0600 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "/opt/splunk/bin/python2.7 /opt/splunk/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/snmp.py" obj.handle_error()
05-20-2020 10:16:31.405 +0600 ERROR ExecProcessor - message from "/opt/splunk/bin/python2.7 /opt/splunk/etc/apps/snmp_ta/bin/snmp.py" Exception with getCmd to x.x.x.x:161: poll error: Traceback (most recent call last):

By the way, for one input I'm writing 3 hosts. And now have 47 data inputs.
