Hi,
sorry for the earlier mail..i want to know which one is good for xymon
for network devices monitoring..devmon/mrtg.
Please help.

It's a religious question.  I use mrtg because it supports snmp-v3, I
already have my templates built, and I can live with the hack that is
bb-mrtg.pl.  Other people like devmon, but I haven't been able to test
it because of the snmp-v3 issue.


I use devmon for some device polling, although it takes some time writing templates for devices. Instead of mrtg we use Cacti. It's easier to manage and most device templates already exist for importing.
