a timeout is a strong indication for a problem on the agent side. Even
if the agent is not able to decrypt the pdu, a report has to be sent back.

Why do you think it is a problem with engine boot counter? The console
examples do not store the boot/time values of agents, so each call to
snmpGet will result in a complete engine id and engine time discovery:
first request will result in "unknown engine id report" and the second
(sent with engine boot = engine time = 0) will result in a "not in time
window report". The third request should be answered with the requested
values.

Do you get any logging output from the agent that says why the request
is dropped?
