www.sunfreeware.com is your friend.  Download what you need and install it with the Sun package manager.  Almost everything ends up in /usr/local so it doesn't clobber anything included in the Solaris intallation.  Great if you don't have the time, patience, or know-how for compiling things from scratch.

Hi Brian,
I'm trying to compile the client, on a fresh install of solaris 10, but I keep getting this error, would you know why?

Checking your make-utility
GNU make is required to build Xymon.
If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake ./configure.client'

Depending on your Solaris 10 buildout -you probably have gcc loaded on it
already.   It is very easy to build a client from the server bundle.  Look
in the source directory - there is a configure for client  - run it.  Then make and make install.  Make sure the client just built is not started and running.  cd to the directory above client in the Xymon install directory - tar it up = voila!  - a Solaris 10  client ready to deploy. You may want to do this in a chrooted jail so it does not interfere with current client set up. Any way you go - it is best to start with a clean build area.  I like to use a client server that needs a new client.  First one is the build center for that OS and version.  I build it out configure it to what I need, including extra scripts and whatever. I verify it works, turn off the client
- clean up logs and temp, make sure the etc files are set up for global use, then make a tarball of it.  After I have the tarball - restart the client and away we go.  The tar ball I use to deploy - very little to change in install.


Galen's site has the startup scripting needed to add Xymon in as a service in Solaris 10 - I don't know if it has been changed to xymon yet,but the one that had hobbit in it worked well = its very easy to edit and make the changes.  (You will have to edit it anyways to tell it where everything is)

The Mac I leave to those who use it and know it well.

 Hi all,
I'm a bit new with solaris 10 and mac OSX. (took a day and a half.. And Counting to figure out how to compile!)
 So I thought I'd ask if anyone has a precompiled mac osx or solaris 10 Client....
 Thanks!  William

Husemann, Harald a écrit :
Hi,

you should run "devmon --readbbhosts -vvv --debug" and examine the output, if it was able to contact the switch and figure out the template for it from the sysdesc string.

Yep I noticed that: but I thought it wasn't working since I didn't see anything in the log file...LOL guess I assumed something would go wrong? LOL

Anyways I noticed the hosts.db file was being udpated.

Now the next step is to figure out how I go about doing the tests:
bandwidth, uptime, etc for the asa5500

Hi William,

all you have to do is including your switches in the bb-hosts, with a line like this:

<IP> <host> # DEVMON

Then, run "devmon --readbbhosts", and the devmon process will start polling the switch.

HTH,

Harald

Well we have a few 2600's, and an ASA5500 that I'd like to grab info from, such as up time, bandwidth usage, etc....
I saw that there is a template for cisco ASA so I'm hoping its for that machine.

I'm new at this, and just trying to figure out what "switches" I have to put into the bb-hosts files...

(still haven't figured out what area to change: bb-hosts or the client
config files)...

Is there a Cisco monitoring script that I could use?
Although you will hear many calls for devmon, devmon does not currently support snmp v3. If that is a requirement for you, then I would recommend using mrtg with appropriate templates, and bbmrtg.pl to report the values to xymon. I use that technique to monitor 135 UPS, 94 temperature/humidity probes, 19 firewalls, and close to 300 Cisco routers/switches.
Hi,

I'm looking for some Cisco devmon templates 2950, 1240 and ASA5500.
Tks for any help
