Chris, OK, I will stop intermapper and restore that map.
That will be OK for us. Thanks, Steve -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher L.

Deleting a chart in InterMapper won't actually remove the file, so if you were to simply restart the chart, the old data would still be there, and hence the backup isn't going to help. Because you removed the device and readded it, when you started the chart again, the new chart received a new filename. Now, this new filename would probably be the highest version of x for Lx in my example before, but that still doesn't tell us what the name of the previous instance was. You might be able to tell by the last modified date, and you might not. If you could figure it out, you could stop intermapperd, rename the old version to the new name, and restart, and it would probably work. The best thing may be to restore the map file in question from a backup made before you deleted and readded the device. Then you should be able to restart the chart, have a gap where SNMP wasn't working, but see old data before SNMP stopped working and new data going forward. -- Christopher -- ================================================ Christopher L.
