    Description

      When a poller performs the ping and the snmp ping at the start of a poll, it will assume the device is UP if the results are ok.

      But if the device stops responding after that point, then this happens: 

      I had a chat on IRC about this:

      <Gunni> adama: why does this happen?
      <Gunni> can your poller not notice the request timed out, vs the value being set to ''?
      <landy> that happen when device down after check their status, mean ping and snmp ping return ok, but after stop responding
      <landy> try increase snmp timeout
      <Gunni> yeah i expected that landy, but can't the script notice that and ... abandon the poll or some instead of clearing all fields?
      <landy> check status before each module - derp idea
