Hi

How do I easiest start polling SNMP devices, such as routers, switches,
loadbalancers, vpn-devices etc. With Hobbit?
I need to monitor and graph dozens, possibly hundreds, of SNMP-capable
devices.

Thanks

devmon will do the trick ;-)

Unless you need snmp v3.  devmon does not support it, because the
underlying perl modules used don't support it.

I spent a lot of time hacking up mrtg to support snmp v3 - that's
available and relatively stable in mrtg 2.15.  I currently use it and
bbmrtg to get statistics from 384 devices, including temperature probes,
ups, pix firewalls, and routers.  That chews up a dual-processor box by
itself.  I wouldn't mind moving to something a bit more flexible like
devmon, but snmpv3 is a requirement.
