We have the same problem here.

We changed it to restart every 30 minutes, but still we have times where it
goes purple.

I can not find a single log entry for any of this.

Thanks, michael

Same thing here. It will run for up to 3 weeks and then go purple. Devmon is
running on the same server as Hobbit. We're running release_0_3_0_beta2. So
far
I'm having hobbit page me so that I can shutdown devmon, make sure it's dead,
then restart it. I do this manually so that I can get a sense of when it's
failing.

I noticed that I was getting a lot of errors about an undefined variable in
the
log even after devmon goes purple, so I did a little looking around and found
where the undefined variable was trying to be referenced in SNMP_Session.pm. I
then put a debug message in SNMP_Session.pm so that When the failure happens I
get a lot of log messages:

response_community is undefined, bailing out of receive_response_3
  at /path/to/devmon/modules/dm_snmp.pm line 469

This error can appear without devmon going purple, but it is always present
when
devmon has crapped out.
