Finally found the issue!

When routing is enabled, you need to then tell the switch how to handle snmp requests. Basically to send snmp responses to the queries back to the address they came from, in this instance my Nagios xi server.

In the CLI, of the switch, enter the config and enter:

HP Switch(config) # snmp-server response-source dst-ip-of-request
