Several people are reporting issues with polling SNMP as a service. I just
wanted to note that you do not have to poll the SNMP service in order to
receive SNMP data.

With 0.9.6 we added the collectd process to manage SNMP data collection,
which is separate from the poller. The outages I believe you are seeing
deal with OpenNMS trying to test its access to SNMP from the pollerd
process.

For the time being, I would turn off SNMP polling and look at the "unable
to perform data collection" errors in order to monitor the state of my
SNMP service.
