TS - Hobbit ==> SNMP
list Tom Schmitt
I have installed Hobbit on a Dell R-610 on CentOS 5.4.
I have installed Net:SNMP so that I can query a MIB.
I am looking for a good setup guide/HOW-TO to integrate a test to
controlling an ICON on a device.
I must be searching in the archive for the wrong string.
I want to test a MIB or MIBs and then trigger a change in the ICON red,
yellow, green
e.g. temperature of a device, or reserve power in a UPS
I am also looking for a GOOD J HOW-TO for setting up DEVMON on the Xymon
server.
It seems that it can read the bb-hosts file to find the devices to
monitor.
But then again, I read that you have to edit a configuration file for
the device and the test to run.
I could not find a good testing info source of the options that are
available.
If you use the config file does it then only test the devices in the
configs file vs. the bb-hosts file?
Thanks,
Tom Schmitt

I'm not familiar with devmon but custom tests are described in sufficient detail here: http://www.xymon.com/hobbit/help/hobbit-tips.html Good Luck.

What do you mean by "ICON" ?

e.g. temperature of a device, or reserve power in a UPSCan you be more specific about the "device" ? E.g, there are templates for a number of UPS models shipped with devmon.

What distro? If Mandriva or RHEL/CentOS, there are packages, quick installation is documented here: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/devmon/index.php?title=InstallRHELorCentOS

It seems that it can read the bb-hosts file to find the devices to monitor. But then again, I read that you have to edit a configuration file for the device and the test to run.
At present, devmon doesn't utilise the information in the MIB files, instead it uses templates. A number of templates are shipped in the devmon templates release.

?
If you use the config file does it then only test the devices in the configs file vs. the bb-hosts file?
After adding a device to bb-hosts, you need to run devmon --readbbhosts (or 'service devmon readbbhosts) to get devmon to poll the device, trying to identify it from it's sysDescr. If it matches it to a template, it stores the device, model, options etc. in an internal file (which you should not modify, but you can view partially with 'strings'). Have you read the devmon documentation? Regards, Buchan
