netmon 
needs to be configured with the appropriate SNMP community name to be able to 
talk to the snmpd agent that resides on the same box as itself. 

The global default community name within 
NetView's SNMP Configuration panel and the loopback community name in snmpd.conf 
need to be the same. 
OR 
If not the global default, then you need to have an entry 
(such as a specific entry) in NetView's SNMP Configuration for the NetView host 
box  where its community name matches the community name in the snmpd.conf 
file.

Cannot communicate with SNMP 
Agent via loopback address (127.0.0.1); it is
either not running or has been 
configured with a community name different
from that configured into Tivoli 
NetView for this system. If a community
name has
been configured into the 
SNMP Agent, that community name must be configured
via xnmsnmpconf and 
/usr/OV/conf/ovsnmp.conf for address 127.0.0.1 as well
as for the hostname or 
IP address of this system.
Or, the /usr/OV/conf/snmpmib and 
/usr/OV/conf/snmpmib.bin files are
corrupted
and need to be rebuilt using 
the
Maintain->Rebuild MIB binary file with installation MIB 
defaults
option in NetView configuration menu
        
    


any idea what can be wrong ?     

thanks
Dominic
