Re: [nv-l] Problem with dying event windows

[Jane Curry <jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk>]

Hi Colin,
If you have gone upto 7.1.4 recently and you are seeing resource issues, 
it may be an idea to watch out for the servmon daemon (which is new with 
7.1.4).  It's a Java daemon and I have seen it "go walkabout" and chew 
up all your CPU.
Another thing to check on is that with 7.1.4, lots of snmpCollect 
collections are turned on by default.  From memory, you have quite a 
sizeable database and I think you will find that there is 1 default 
active collection that collects from *.*.*.*.  If you haven't adjusted 
these customisations since your upgrade, I'd go and check them - they 
may be chewing up your disk space too.
Cheers,
Jane
