devmon question

[Charles Jones]

I've just setup devmon, and would like some advice from other folks who 
are using it.  I poked around the devmon "forums" and needless to say 
they weren't very helpful. I am currently awaiting moderator approval to 
post to the devmon support email list, so thought I would also post it 
here just in case a fellow Hobbit user that is familiar with devmon 
could help.

Among the devices I am monitoring is a Cisco 3750 user stack switch. By 
default, devmon trips a red alarm if a port is in the "down" state. I 
want this behavior on some of the 3750's I am monitoring, but this 
particular one I do not, because it would trigger everytime someone 
powers their workstation off.

So, I am trying to override the threshold via options in bb-hosts. Here 
is what I am currently using, which is NOT working:

10.10.10.10    user_stack                              # testip 
DEVMON:thresh(if_stat;ifOperStatTxt;g:down)

According to my understanding of the docs, this should override the 
alert color such that it is green when the port is in "down" state.  Can 
any other devmon users see what I am doing wrong there?

I think I also need to know how to override a single specific port :(
