The engineID is defined to be a globally unique identifier of a SNMPv3 device, but it happens that users configure the same engineID multiple times for different devices, which made Check_MK only talk to one of them and reporting "No Response from host (Timeout 0/-24)" for the other devices. This has been changed now that Check_MK disregards the misconfiguration and works as usual.
