In answer to your question : " Why should the collection be deferrd for one
hour?"

if a node does not reply to the SNMP Get, the snmpCollect daemon defers the
following Get on that node for a "defer time" . The default is 1 hour. It
can be changed by the -D switch on snmpCollect.

.1.3.6.1.4.1.94.1.21.1.7.1", the value can be retrived. There is no doubt
about it. But why the silly mib data collector can't?
