[Xymon] Issue with the hardware monitoring.

[White, Bruce]

Has the devmon --readbbhosts command run after adding these servers to
your bb-hosts file?  If not, Devmon will not see the new servers to poll
them.  Also, make sure the servers are returning the proper string to
match Devmon to a template.  You might have to add the MODEL option in
to your bb-hosts file for servers which are not matching on their own.

As far as hosts are concerned, it doesn't mater what it is as long as it
has some sort of snmp daemon or server running on it that answers snmp
polls and that your community strings are correct and there is access.  

Xymon will be happy if a devmon template exists for the device being
polled, then use details from that host template to get what you've
asked for within the oid files. 

If no template is found, devmon won't poll for details and report back
to xymon. It does not imply that snmp traffic or polls to the host don't
work. 

Your xymon server is on a linux box I assume ?  Troubleshoot from there
polling some hosts manually. If that's not doable, then find a snmp tool
that works on windows that does snmpwalks or polls and have that on the
same network as the xymon server.

All these are Windows 2003 boxes. Can these be run on windows boxes?

Have you tried manually "snmpwalking" the hosts from your Xymon server ?

I'd first verify you can snmpwalk each device (or at least one of each
type) from your server via shell doing:
snmpwalk <-v2c or -v1>  -c <comm string> host

If that's all good, then you probably just have devmon templates to
tweak or make.

We are monitoring about Windows 2003, 340+ servers using the Xymon. We
have various models like of IBM,HP and DELL. 
We have installed the respective client packages like IBM Director, HP
Insight and DELL Open Manage agents on the client side.
We have configured appropriate community strings.
Out of which very few of them we are able to get the status. Majority of
the servers were not able to do the hardware monitoring. 

Checked the SNMP configuration at the client side several times, did not
find any issue with it. 

We have opened all the required ports for this one. 

Can any of you help to get the light of this issue?
