devmon help

--readbbhosts option only creates the hosts.db file, nothing else.  You
then need to start the devmon proccess without the --readbbhost option
for it to query the SNMP devices.  After starting it doing a ps -ef
should should then number of threads (configured in cfg file) + 1.

Maybe I missunderstood, but happy to help with the experience I have
had.

Craig 
Run strings against the hosts.db and you will see better output.  I too have been trying to setup devmon and cant get it working either,  having same problems as you.  Run devmon with the --readbbhosts option, I even used the -vv to see some info, it identifies the switch correctly and looks like its using the right template, but no output or anything in the log file.

Anyone else have this working?

I have a cisco 3550 switch I am trying to use devmon with.

SNMP is enabled in the switch, but devmon does not seem to do > anything with it.

The templates dir has cisco-3500 listed as a device it knows about...
Single devmon server.
solaris1:/usr/local/devmon#  /usr/local/devmon/devmon

I changed this in dm_config.pm
      'verbose'       => 1,

      'debug'         => 1,
      'print_msg'     => 1,

# vi hosts.db > switch1.example.com^[192.168.1.2^[cisco^[3550^[all^[public^[^[

Are the "^["'s messing this up?
Nothing in the devmon log file...

Thanks
