Pretty wierd. I don't think I have ever seen anything in the nettl log from
snmpcollect, but have you looked there? And you are not using a relational
database for data collection, right? and it comes right up if you
stop/start
everything? I suppose you have tried removing mibExpr.conf from the
equation....  See the man page for snmpCollect and try turning on
verbose tracing. Maybe it will tell you more about what it is doing. But
I would be getting close to calling support if I were you.

Cordially,

There are a few "deferrings" (like below) but they are expected as they are
coming from systems that we're in the process of changing community
strings:

   Wed Mar 08 08:10:48 2000 : XXX.XXX.com not up
       Deferring SNMP of all collections on XXX.XXX.com
       15 minutes (0.25 hours).  Send event (via
       snmpCollect -C <node>) to retry sooner.


I am also getting a few errors (expected) from the expression I am working
on:

   Wed Mar 08 07:53:18 2000 : SNMP to XXX.XXX.com for MIB variable

.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.compaq.cpqHostOs.cpqHoComponent.cp


qHoFileSys.cpqHoFileSysTable.cpqHoFileSysEntry.cpqHoFileSysPercentSpaceUsed.

0
       (error-index #2) returned: The variable does not exist or is read
only.
       Deferring SNMP of diskCused.0 on
       XXX.XXX.com 15 minutes (0.25 hours).  Consecutive deferral #83.
       send event (via snmpCollect -C <NODE>) to retry sooner.


What's got me bugged is that collections work fine with I ovstop/start
NetView, but ovstop/start snmpCollect never gets collections going again.
Is there something else that needs to be started and stopped when
snmpCollect gets bounced?  Not a major show-stopper - just annoying.
