I attempted to switch to the cmd.php poller (which is slower) but it
something in one of these two updates borked using THAT:
Jan 10 09:26:24 NewFS pkg[66930]: net-snmp upgraded: 5.9.4_6,1 -> 5.9.5.2,1
Jan 10 09:26:24 NewFS pkg[66930]: php83-snmp reinstalled: 8.3.29 -> 8.3.29
I assume its the php83-snmp reinstall that broke that since net-snmp is
only a client (and yet ALL SNMP lookups in cacti got borked, including
on machines that are not FreeBSD boxes.)
I'm investigating why the latter doesn't work since it certainly should.
