Thanks Joe,

There are no files in the ../snmpCollect directory (files with 0 length).

My NumberConcurrentSnmp is 100 and I made change on number of objects in the
database (from 10000 ro 20000) only.

Regards,
David

When you see no data is being stored, what does ovstatus show about 
snmpCollect? Is it still running?

When you say no data is being stored, do you mean there are files in 
...../snmpCollect but they are not growing or do you mean that no files 
have been created?

I would try backing off all the changes. Restore the original parameters. 
Make sure things are working again. Then make the changes one at a time and 
observe the effect.

I don't know what changes you have made. If for example you have set 
NumberConcurrentSnmp to a very high value your system may not be able to
cope.
