Hi,
sorry for the earlier mail..i want to know which one is good for
xymon for network devices monitoring..devmon/mrtg.
Please help.

It's a religious question.  I use mrtg because it supports snmp-v3, I
already have my templates built, and I can live with the hack that is
bb-mrtg.pl.  Other people like devmon, but I haven't been able to
test it because of the snmp-v3 issue.

I use devmon for some device polling, although it takes some
time writing templates for devices.
Instead of mrtg we use Cacti. It's easier to manage and most
device templates already exist for
importing.

Can Cacti integrate with Xymon? I found this:

But the description doesn't look confidence-inspiring.
