What exactly doesn't work? What have you done? Do you see anything in the devmon logs? Post one example line from your bb-hosts file. Can you snmpwalk the device using the hostname? Have you got the right community strings in the devmon config ? devmon works fine, and is relatively easy to set up. Regards, Buchan

Hi... The line i want to test with DevMON in bb-hosts is: 10.21.25.1 SW # DEVMON:tests(cpu) I don't have any logs. I just want to read out the communitystring "public" I've also configure a "crontab" with the following parameter: */15 * * * * perl /usr/local/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts When I execute this on commandline it's run, but no logfile being created in /var/log What Am I doing wrong? Kind Regards, DNS

"Normally" there should be a logfile in the directory where devmon is installed. You can configure this and other things in the devmon.cfg file. If you have added a new entry into your bb-hosts for devmon then you have to run ./devmon --readbbhosts to update the hosts.db file. After that you can start the daemon simply by executing ./devmon; it will daemonize and run in the background, performing the SNMP test every 5 minutes (default). -Johann

Have you started devmon itself ? The devmon --readbbhosts is just there to update the "database" of hosts to poll. As far as I remember, a sample init script is provided in the source tarball, you can use that to start devmon. Regards, Buchan

Well...when i just call /devmon without anything it won't start. But with perl /devmon it run but nothing happens. How do i configure Demon properly and run the daemon? I lost....Install manual isn't that clear for a newbie....

Is the devmon script executable? Check the path of your perl interpreter; does it match with the first line in the devmon script? Again: configuration is done in the devmon.cfg file. If the devmon script is executable and the perl interpreter can be found (often /usr/bin/perl) then cd to the install dir of devmon and just starting devmon with ./devmon (keep an eye that you don't forget the dot). To become more verbose output you can start it with ./devmon -vvvvv Read the manual... -Johann
