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.

The devmon.cfg is default. The correct path to the bbhosts file is in the cfg file.
Not too sure about creating the 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.
