Hi all,
I have a problem where I deleted a process but didnt remove it from all the devices. Now I have a few hundred devices stating the following error ":error: first argument must be string or compiled pattern". Ive also gone to  several devices deleted the Osprocess and remodeled and the event error still persists. Anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the process from the devices with zendmd script? Im using zenmodeler to remodel all the devices so that part is covered. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Looks like I have snmp v1 set and setting it to v2c has let me remodel, clear the error, and also remove the orphaned processes on the devices.
