Josh,
Sorry for the long post, just trying to put all the information I
think is relevant in one place!

I believe I have Devmon all ready to go short of one example test.  I
copied the templates from SF and put them in the templates directory. 
I am trying this with apc-9619.

From what I've read, it simply looks to match a string in sysdesc of
templates/apc-9619/specs with what comes back from the sysDescr snmp
query.
Matching sysDescr is one way to do it, and what you have included below
would indicate this is working OK for you. The way to specify the
template you want explicitly is to use the tag
"DEVMON:model(vendor;model)" where "vendor" and "model" match the lines
in the template specs file.

From what you've included, looks like the --readbbhosts is working OK.
The next step is to actually poll the device to report.

What do you get when you run "./devmon -f -p -vvv" ?

David.
This is what I have:

# more templates/apc-9619/specs
vendor  : apc
model   : 9619
snmpver : 1
sysdesc : *MN:AP9619*

# snmpwalk -v1 -ccommunity 172.16.0.60|grep MN\:AP9619
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: APC Web/SNMP Management Card
(MB:v3.9.2 PF:v3.6.1 PN:apc_hw02_aos_361.bin AF1:v3.5.8

MD:07/19/2008) (Embedded PowerNet SNMP Agent SW v2.2 compatible)

devmon.cfg is looking at /home/xymon/server/etc/hosts.cfg
