Re: [nv-l] ifOutUcastPkts files!

[James Shanks <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

Deleting these files?  What files
exactly?  Are you talking about removing the collections from the
snmpCol.conf file using the xnmcollect GUI with the "Delete"
button?  
That you can do, but there is no need
if they are suspended, and who knows, you might want to collect some data
with snmpCollect some day.  The suspended collections could act as
templates or examples for what you might really want to do. 
I would not delete snmpCol.conf since
that controls snmpCollect, and if he is running, then he needs that file.
 

Did you want to delete the data that
snmpCollect already collected?  That's stored in the database under
/usr/OV/databases/snmpCollect.  You can delete all the entries under
that directory if you like, though I would stop snmpCollect first (ovstop
snmpCollect).  If you want to format the data and see what it looks
like before you delete it, see the man page on the snmpColdump command.

If you are afraid that someone else
will resume these data collections,  or you just don't want snmpCollect
to be running in your system because you never use him, you could always
fix it so that snmpCollect is never even started.  You would deregister
him like this:
(1) ovstop snmpCollect
(2) ovdelobj /usr/OV/lrf/snmpCol.lrf

To add him back
(1) ovaddobj  /usr/OV/lrf/snmpCol.lrf
(2) ovstart

Thanks James - I will do that. Are there any negative
side-effects from 
just deleting these files once the collections are suspended?

Type in xnmcollect from the command line to start the snmpCollect 
collection editor.  Look in the first column of the display under
the word 
"Status"  If you see collections say "Collecting",
then select each of 
them in turn, and click the "Suspend" button to shut them off.
 Then  OK 
your way out.
