Hello;

I am looking into using devmon, seems simple enough, but my "public" community is password protected.  Where and how shall I add my password for public?  It's mostly the same for all of my devices.

Thank you,

Ouch, nevermind.  My issue was with an ACL on my routers preventing my snmpget from working in the first place.

Got it working, now to get it looking nice, it shows EVERYTHING by default.

Great work by the way!

In case you haven't discovered yet, it will redball every interface that's
unconnected to anything but not DOWN'ed.  Fair amount of work in the
router configs unless you disable the tests.

Three issues that I've into thus far, although still a great tool.

1.  My Xymon server, and most of my servers running snmpd, are set up for farenheit.  A few of my routers however are in celcius, this gives me flashbacks to the Mars probe.

2.  To attempt to remedy what you described above, I added:

# DEVMON:except(if_stat;ifName;na:.*)

The above ignores all of the Gig interfaces, now I need to figure out how to:

a.  Monitor just my trunks between switches.  
b.  Separate my alerts so that my Linux folks get alerts for servers on their conns, Windows get theirs, and I can stay asleep at night and ignore all that are not purely network related ;-)

3.  Figure a why totally ignore, and not even show a column for, everything in if_name.
