Cisco switches

I can ping the device by ip and by name. however, devmon still has a
problem to query the device. 

There is no log file generated for devmon as yet. Any ideas ?

Devmon is still having a problem as per line below :

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

[08-01-16 at 20:42:17] Could not query device: 192.168.18.72

[root at nms01 etc]#

 
Any ideas guys ?

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.

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.
