[hobbit] devmon question

[Charles Jones]

Andy,

Thanks for the idea...that did the trick. Here's what I ended up using:
10.10.10.10    user_stack                              # testip 
DEVMON:except(if_stat;ifName;na:.*)

Now if I could just find templates for a Cisco 3845 and a Cisco PIX 515E 
so I don't have to go through OID hell and create my own :)

P.S. Are there any tricks to getting (devmon) graphs easily working in 
Hobbit?
