HI All, we have figured out how to get xymon monitoring snmp devices such
as our cisco cores...
Is it xymon (4.3 beta) that is monitoring them, or is it devmon that is polling, and reporting the results to Xymon?
the problem is any port not plugged in is alarming..
By default, devmon alarms on ports that are not shut but down. Depending on your policy on the management of network ports, either:
-disable the if_stat test, if you don't care that unshut ports are down
-shut unused ports
-alarm only on specific port types/names that are down and not shut, by using an appropriate except option in the DEVMON tag in bb-hosts
is there a way to tell xymon not to monitor ports that are not being used?
I haven't investigated the native SNMP support in Xymon 4.3, the above is only for devmon.
