This error takes place if there is an issue forwarding SNMP packets. Unfortunately it isn't further specified. Are you using SNMP v1, v2c, or v3? Do other SNMP sensors work while you get this error? Are you able to monitor other SNMP sensors on the target device?

I'm using SNMP v2. all of the other sensors worked fine, at the same device and other devices.

As i said, pause and resume the sensor recovered it.
