Matching sysDescr is one way to do it, and what you have included below
would indicate this is working OK for you. The way to specify the
template you want explicitly is to use the tag
"DEVMON:model(vendor;model)" where "vendor" and "model" match the lines
in the template specs file.

The next step is to actually poll the device to report.

What do you get when you run "./devmon -f -p -vvv" ?
