Paul's advice is good, but I would just ovstop netmon, and then re-cycle
snmpd, before I did anything else.
Just do "stopsrc -s snmpd" and then "startsrc -s snmpd". This has worked
for me before.

Subject: Re: [nv-l] netmon failure
Bonnie,
Don't go rebuilding the mib defaults just yet, most likely it is not
necessary. First check
the community name, netmon will communicate with the <hostname> or your
machine,
so try this:
xnmsnmpconf -res <hostname>
Is the community name correct? If you are not sure what your community
name
is, you can check the snmpd configuration file. I do not see what
platform you are
running on so I will assume AIX. Your /etc/snmpd.conf file will have the
community
name. Make sure this matches. If it does not, run xnmsnmpconf with no
switches
and add a correct entry for this hostname. Then run the xnmsnmpconf -res
again
to make sure the community names match. Once the names match, you should
be
able to start netmon.
