I assume you mean collection for container?

If you run "nvUtil l <container name>", is your node in it?  If not, that's
your problem.

If it is, then try "snmpwalk -d <node> system" to make sure the commuity name
is indeed wrong (the community name used will be in the text that will appear
in the translated packets).  If the community name is not what it should be for
the collection, you have a bug.
