Title Being more robust against duplicat engineIDs when monitoring SNMPv3 devices
Date Jun 5, 2015
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Raw (CRE)
Checkmk Version 1.2.7i2
Level Trivial Change
Class Bug Fix
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

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.
