mine setup and running in less than five minutes since my

anything against Devmon but the MRTG integration is a no

MRTG will monitor throughput only. One can tweak MRTG to measure two
other things in stead of input and output, but the options are
limited compared to Devmon. Thus if one wants to monitor only
throughput, MRTG will do well. If one wants to monitor a number of
other parameters as well, for instance temperature, memory
utilisation or stack status, Devmon is a better option.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#990000">Does anyone have an easy installation
guide for devmon on Ubuntu? I installed it and got the
SNMP_Session perl stuff installed, but I'm not adept
enough at linux or perl to get devmon to start for some
reason. It's got a start script prebuilt for RedHat but
that doesn't work for me and I don't know which paths to
edit to make it work. Even if I do get it running it
looks like I'll need some advanced configs with OID's
that I have no idea about. Devmon was suggested by
previous posts so I thought I'd give it a shot. MRTG
seems way easier than this and doesn't require OID's.
Should I just go back to that?</span></p>

When installing Devmon, consider installing the
patches on the SourceForge Devmon page as well.
Although the latest svn version dates of last
September, a number of improvements (patches)
submitted in the last two years are not yet included
in the distribution version of Devmon.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Wim Nelis.</p>
