Monitoring Cisco routers

Is that 6509 with IOS or CatOS ?

If its IOS then I would also be very interested.

There is a devmon Web page somewhere that tells you what is needed.
Google "devmon" and see what you find.

Devmon runs as a daemon, but there is a devmon command you can run every
so often via hobbitlaunch to get devmon to re-read bb-hosts.

There are some "features" about devmon that may make it less desirable
in certain environments:

A) Nothing is graphed -- traffic and errors numbers live in tables.

B) There is no convenient way to control which interfaces in a device
are monitored.  There are some inconvenient ways, however.

C) Devmon has a pretty big default footprint.  You can tune it a little
bit, but you need to know what you are doing.

OK, a couple of questions...

Is SNMP-Session still required?  I have Perl_SNMP installed.

Can someone please post (or send) their hobbitlaunch settings to run
devmon?

Thanks.

I'm looking to hear from the group about monitoring Cisco routers.  I
      

see on deadcat that there are a number of external packages to do
      

this,
   

which is the best?  Ideally we want to monitor traffic, in addition 
to the standard ping test, CPU and memory would be a bonus.

      

We are currently using devmon(CPU, memory, if_stats...) and MRTG
(bandwidth) for doing that. Before that we had the tool "routermon"
inplace...
