Do you have a the perl snmp modules installed ?

	Yip that's what I added in the bb-hosts:

	 
	192.168.18.72       szacttctasrv1.net.cen.tcta.co.za # DEVMON

	 
	then I ran /downloads /devmon/devmon -readbbhosts

	 
	[root at nms01 etc]# /downloads/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts

	[08-01-17 at 12:42:35] Could not query device:
szacttctasrv1.net.cen.tcta.co.za

	[root at nms01 etc]#

	 
	Also I don't see any devmon instances running if I run ps -ef |
grep devmon

	As stated in the manual you have to put in a line in the
bb-hosts file like 
	0.0.0.0     cisco_name    # DEVMON

		I can ping the switch by its ip address but not by name
from hobbit server and feel therefore

		That devmon -readbbhosts is having a problem resolving
this. Do I have to put in a name in the bb-hosts file ?

		I have a single node running with devmon, but I also
have a database.

though cos the installation notes don't specify for a single node
installation. Am I incorrect ?

			
			As I understand it, the database is only
required if you have multiple systems running devmon.
