Servertimeout Option

The  SNMP option specifies the maximum number of seconds to wait for each step in probing a server (connect to, read from, write to, etc.).

The subagent determines the operational status of each monitored service by actually opening TCP connections to each service and undergoing a protocol exchange. This timeout value, measured in seconds, controls how long the subagent will wait for a response to each step in the protocol exchange. By default, a timeout value of five seconds is used.

This option applies to both the Net-SNMP based SNMP subagent, and the legacy SNMP subagent for Solaris 9 and earlier.

The default value is: 5
