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...
