It does all its config checks first, before status polling begins. A delay of
thrity minutes before you can demand poll is not uncommon for large databases.
Changes are being made to reduce this impact in 6.0.1, but otehrwise netmon
has
ALWAYS worked like this, since before Version 2.

I have tried this and sometimes the update to the netmon.trace file can take
15-30 minutes (or longer). My question is during this "startup stuff" is
netmon performing it's normal monitoring or does it wait until all of this
"startup stuff" is finished before it begins showing the proper status of
devices that it is polling?
Just Wondering...

....And the most usual thing is that netmon is busy doing its startup
stuff. The window comes up with the hourglass, but no results. To
verify that it is just netmon being busy, go to a commandline and
do 'netmon -a 3' and check /usr/OV/log/netmon.trace. If netmon
is too busy, it won't dump it's ping schedule. Wait a while and try
again.
