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.
