    Same OID for Multiple Items

    Hi

    If I am using the same OID for multiple items, is Zabbix smart enough just to poll the device for the value once, or will it poll the device for each item?

    In my case, I am polling 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.{portid} for traffic egress, and 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.16.{portid} for ingress.

    I use the raw data returned to make sure there is traffic flowing (there should always be come traffic going through the port.

    I also use a delta of the value to create throughputs graphs...

    But I dont want to hit the switch twice for each OID.

    Many Thanks
    David

    one hit per item.
    24 ports, 4 items => 96 snmp-gets

    there is a request on implementing some kind of grouping and snmp-getbulks , but I'm not sure it's on the roadmap...

    go vote for it : ZBXNEXT-98
