Devmon device support, Cross post between lists

[Chris Wopat <chrisw (at) supranet.net>]

Hello,

Chiming in on some info on Devmon. While primarily targeted to the 
Devmon list, it may be useful to hobbit/devmon users who don't subscribe 
to that list.

The cisco-7206 template works perfectly fine on a Cisco 7500. I'm sure 
it works on a 7200 as well. I also have an old 7000 here, but I don't 
want to boot it up to test. Anyway, it may be in the best interest to 
rename 7206 to 7200, and just copy its templates to a 7500 folder, or 
genericly rename the whole thing cisco-7000.

Also, there is a typo in the USING doc:

http://devmon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/devmon/trunk/docs/USING?revision=3&view=markup

This line is listed:
	DEVMON:tests(cpu),thresh(cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y=50;r=90)

But it should be:
	DEVMON:tests(cpu),thresh(cpu;CPUTotal5Min;y:50;r:90)

It's correct in the details furter down the page, but the equal symbols 
should be colons near the top when it first mentions thresh().

Lastly, and this is very minor, Devmon doesn't properly detect 
administratively down interfaces in all cases. On one router, I am using 
subinterfaces as follows:

GigabitEthernet0/2
GigabitEthernet0/2.1
GigabitEthernet0/2.2
GigabitEthernet0/2.3
..etc..

If I shut down Gi0/2, 'sh ip int br' shows its subinterfaces 
administratively down, but devmon doesn't detect that- one has to go 
into each subinterface and shut them down as well. It does appear that 
the OID that checks admin status (.1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.7) does indeed say 
up, which is why it's showing red:

ifAdminStatus.89 = INTEGER: up(1)

I couldnt find any alternate OID to report ifAdminStatus, so short of 
putting in code to check parent interface status, it probably couldn't 
be considered a bug, but I thought I'd mention it.
