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.

Subject: [hobbit] Monitoring Cisco routers
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...
