After further analysis the issue on SNMP timeouts appear to be related to Cisco NX-OS (Nexus 5548 as example) devices at this time.

Issue:
The port status service check, within Nagios, checks a port every 2 minutes for configured device. Most of the time the service check successfully completes. On occasion, however, the first service check after the last 2 minute expires the ‘snmpwalk’ command fails due to a time-out. Nagios waits its retry period (1 min in this case) and tries again and this succeeds.

We get approx. 1500 timeouts in a given day. I’ve checked the CPU and memory on the devices at the time timeouts occur and I don’t see load as an issue. Nagios is monitoring ports for about 200 devices. These errors are coming from 12 devices.

I'm going to pass this up to our Network team.
