Hey Michael,
 I just dumped the templates into my devmon.  I did have to add WS-C6509 to
the specs file on the sysdesc line to have it see my two units.

Anyways, I'm getting the following errors and wanted to see if they were
something you've seen before and possibly had a fix for.  If not no worries,
I'll just kill those queries.

Thanks!

Here is the Templates I have been tweaking over the last 3 months to 
get DEVMON monitoring some of my cisco/nokia gear.
http://www.ng-bs.com/downloads/Devmon_Custom_Templates.zip

Cisco-4506 CAT OS
Cisco-6509 CAT OS
Cisco-MSFC ( for a 6509 )
Nokia-IPSO ( just one OID I monitor, "clustering state" )

if anyone has some better ones or changes to make to my templates, 
please let me know...
I would love to get some more OID's working with my gear ;-)

thanks, michael

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...
