[Xymon] Configuring Devmon for the first time

[Josh Luthman]

Sorry for the long post, just trying to put all the information I think is
relevant in one place!

I believe I have Devmon all ready to go short of one example test.  I copied
the templates from SF and put them in the templates directory.  I am trying
this with apc-9619.

>From what I've read, it simply looks to match a string in sysdesc of
templates/apc-9619/specs with what comes back from the sysDescr snmp query.

This is what I have:

# more templates/apc-9619/specs
vendor  : apc
model   : 9619
snmpver : 1
sysdesc : *MN:AP9619*

# snmpwalk -v1 -ccommunity 172.16.0.60|grep MN\:AP9619
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: APC Web/SNMP Management Card (MB:v3.9.2
PF:v3.6.1 PN:apc_hw02_aos_361.bin AF1:v3.5.8 AN1:apc_hw02_sumx_358.bin
*MN:AP9619
*HR:A10 SN: NA0829011474 MD:07/19/2008) (Embedded PowerNet SNMP Agent SW
v2.2 compatible)

devmon.cfg is looking at /home/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg
#grep DEVMON /home/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg
172.16.0.60     stouderapc              # DEVMON:cid(imagineapc)
