[hobbit] devmon help

[Johann Eggers]

A little correction:

Which device to query is determined by entries in the bb-hosts file.

You need the templates to specify what OID's to query, how to
calculate/handle the output, define thresholds, generating the
message...

We are currently monitor Cisco 6506, Cisco 4003, Cisco 1700 and Netapp
boxes with devmon.

You have to create a template for the devices named by the model in the
System Description of the snmp output. By this way the devmon daemon is
able to determine what devices to query. You can use existing templates
as a basis and change them to fit to your needs

Craig 

Run strings against the hosts.db and you will see better output.  I too
have been trying to setup devmon and cant get it working either,  having
same problems as you.  Run devmon with the --readbbhosts option, I even
used the -vv to see some info, it identifies the switch correctly and
looks like its using the right template, but no output or anything in
the log file.

Anyone else have this working?
