Depending on your Solaris 10 buildout -you probably have gcc loaded on it
already.   It is very easy to build a client from the server bundle.  Look
in the source directory - there is a configure for client  - run it.  Then make and make install.  Make sure the client just built is not started and
running.  cd to the directory above client in the Xymon install directory -
tar it up = voila!  - a Solaris 10  client ready to deploy. You may want to
do this in a chrooted jail so it does not interfere with current client set
up. Any way you go - it is best to start with a clean build area.  I like to
use a client server that needs a new client.  First one is the build center
for that OS and version.  I build it out configure it to what I need,
including extra scripts and whatever. I verify it works, turn off the client
- clean up logs and temp, make sure the etc files are set up for global use,
then make a tarball of it.  After I have the tarball - restart the client
and away we go.  The tar ball I use to deploy - very little to change in
install.


Galen's site has the startup scripting needed to add Xymon in as a service
in Solaris 10 - I don't know if it has been changed to xymon yet,but the one
that had hobbit in it worked well = its very easy to edit and make the
changes.  (You will have to edit it anyways to tell it where everything is)

The Mac I leave to those who use it and know it well.

Hi all, I'm a bit new with solaris 10 and mac OSX. (took a day and a half.. And Counting to figure out how to compile!)  So I thought I'd ask if anyone has a precompiled mac osx or solaris 10 Client....  Thanks!  William   On 19/03/09 11:38 AM, "dOCtoR MADneSs" <user-d54077869176@xymon.invalid> wrote:  
Husemann, Harald a écrit : 
Hi, 
you should run "devmon --readbbhosts -vvv --debug" and examine the output, if it was able to contact the switch and figure out the template for it from the sysdesc string.

Yep I noticed that: but I thought it wasn't working since I didn't see anything in the log file...LOL guess I assumed something would go wrong? LOL 
Anyways I noticed the hosts.db file was being udpated. 
Now the next step is to figure out how I go about doing the tests: bandwidth, uptime, etc for the asa5500

Hi William, 
all you have to do is including your switches in the bb-hosts, with a line like this: 
<IP> <host> # DEVMON 
Then, run "devmon --readbbhosts", and the devmon process will start polling the switch. 
HTH,

Well we have a few 2600's, and an ASA5500 that I'd like to grab info from, such as up time, bandwidth usage, etc.... I saw that there is a template for cisco ASA so I'm hoping its for that machine. 
I'm new at this, and just trying to figure out what "switches" I have to put into the bb-hosts files... 
(still haven't figured out what area to change: bb-hosts or the client
config files)...

Is there a Cisco monitoring script that I could use? 
Although you will hear many calls for devmon, devmon does not currently support snmp v3. If that is a requirement for you, then I would recommend using mrtg with appropriate templates, and bbmrtg.pl to report the values to xymon. I use that technique to monitor 135 UPS, 94 temperature/humidity probes, 19 firewalls, and close to 300 Cisco routers/switches. 
Hi, 
I'm looking for some Cisco devmon templates 2950, 1240 and ASA5500. Tks for any help
