No SNMP data for devmon template
by URMM＠VM.MARIST.EDU 13 Sep '08

13 Sep '08

I've been beating my head against a wall on this and finally admit I don't have a clue why it is not working. We're just getting started with Hobbit, but plan on making it our main monitoring solution. I've got devmon running with it and have been able to monitor the devices that already have templates. However, some of our devices don't have templates, so I'm trying to define one for them (Weather Goose environmental monitors). To start, I'm just trying to define a simple temperature test. I can see that devmon is reading the files and all seems to be OK. However, I get the dreaded "No SNMP data found for upsenvTempwx on ..." and the test does not work. I can do an snmpget on the same oid and it returns data with no problem. I've seen other notes like this in the archives, but never any solution. I've redone the template files over and over, but nothing seems to make a dent. I'll include my files in case one of you can see what I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

Comment tag

My snmp problem with devmon turned out to be an OID that was a bit too short. (The OID file I downloaded from WeatherGoose seems to be out of date.) Thanks, Dan McDonald for setting me straight! Now, on to another bump I've run into. I've tried specifying the comment tag in bb-hosts. However, it doesn't seem to work. At least, nothing shows up next to the hostname as the "man bb-hosts" file indicates it would. My bb-hosts records looks like: 148.100.96.69 git390 # conn comment:git-server descr:"zLinux git server" The conn and descr tags are working. Anyone using comment successfully? Any thoughts?

[hobbit] Bandwidth monitoring
by dns1407＠yahoo.com 10 Sep '08

Hi GLH, Devmon: OK How do i monitor bandwidth with DEVMON? And graph this? Thanks... DNS ----- Original Message ---- From: "Hubbard, Greg L" <greg.hubbard at eds.com> To: hobbit at hswn.dk Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 3:04:22 PM Subject: RE: [hobbit] Bandwidth monitoring How about devmon? It requires much less care and feeding than MRTG if you are concerned about the entire device -- if you only care about certain interfaces than MRTG is probably a better fit. However, devmon only supports a few (though common!) device types, so you might also be better off with MRTG if you are using "unusual" equipment.

Hi Henrik, Just wanted to give you a heads up that IronPort SenderBase (part of Cisco) is starting to flag your emails as potential spam reputation by scoring the mailing list email server in the negatives values. http://www.senderbase.org While you do not get to see the scoring value of your mail server (just poor, neutral or good) I can tell you that my logs are showing that the mail server is on its way to poor values.
