Re: [nv-l] Problem with NV FP03

James,

There can't be any wrong entries in the snmpCol.conf file as it is a new installation, and i haven't even added or removed any entry. I tried removing entries or even using a blank file but after that the snmpCollect daemon wasn't even starting stating "error reading the conf file". I replaced the conf file but it just won't start giving the same error as if it was damaged or something. I un-installed NetView deleted the entire directory structure and re-installed it, then it was working fine but again when i installed the FP03 it started giving the same error!

Its a new installation there can't be any garbage in the .conf files any way i'll take a look in the file again. Thanks buddy!
Regards,
Usman Taokeer

Well, I've never seen this before but it sounds to me as though there may be some garbage in the \usr\ov\conf\snmpCol.conf file. Start by looking in the SnmpCol.trace file in \usr\ov\log for clues. Then look at the snmpCol.conf file for stray characters or incomplete entries. You might also suspend every collection you don't really need -- lots of collections were added as part of a "best practices" initiative which results in a lot of data being collected whether you plan to use it or not. If you pare things down to just what you really want to collect and you still get this message, then I would use a "divide-and-conquer" strategy. Make a copy of snmpCol.conf with nothing in it and start the daemon. You should get no error messages. Then shut him down and add you collections back one at a time, restarting the daemon each time, until you find the offending one. Then call Support if you cannot see what's wrong with the entry.
