Hi Charles,
I use the following setting for a single port which I know goes up and
down:
DEVMON:model(cisco;3750),except(if_stat;ifName;na:Gi2/0/13)
The if_stat page shows the port as "down" rather than "admin down", but
the status remains green for this and all of the other if_* tests.
I'm not sure how best to apply it to all ports of a switch - but a
re-read of the devmon config docs would probably show what regex you can
use for the port names in lieu of Gi2/0/13. I know I have used the
format
"if_load;ifName;na:Gi1/0/5|Gi1/0/7|Gi1/0/9|Gi1/0/11" for another switch
which frequently gets high loads on some low speed 10Mb/s devices.
HTH,
Andy.

Subject: [hobbit] devmon question
I've just setup devmon, and would like some advice from other folks who are using it. I poked around the devmon "forums" and needless to say they weren't very helpful. I am currently awaiting moderator approval to
post to the devmon support email list, so thought I would also post it here just in case a fellow Hobbit user that is familiar with devmon could help.
Among the devices I am monitoring is a Cisco 3750 user stack switch. By default, devmon trips a red alarm if a port is in the "down" state. I want this behavior on some of the 3750's I am monitoring, but this particular one I do not, because it would trigger everytime someone powers their workstation off.
So, I am trying to override the threshold via options in bb-hosts. Here is what I am currently using, which is NOT working:
10.10.10.10 user_stack # testip DEVMON:thresh(if_stat;ifOperStatTxt;g:down)
According to my understanding of the docs, this should override the alert color such that it is green when the port is in "down" state. Can
any other devmon users see what I am doing wrong there?
I think I also need to know how to override a single specific port :(
