www.sunfreeware.com is your friend. Download what you need and install it with the Sun package manager. Almost everything ends up in /usr/local so it doesn't clobber anything included in the Solaris intallation. Great if you don't have the time, patience, or know-how for compiling things from scratch.

Hi Brian, I'm trying to compile the client, on a fresh install of solaris 10, but I keep getting this error, would you know why?
Checking your make-utility GNU make is required to build Xymon. If it is available as "gmake", run configure as: 'MAKE=gmake ./configure.client'

Depending on your Solaris 10 buildout -you probably have gcc loaded on it already. It is very easy to build a client from the server bundle. Look in the source directory - there is a configure for client - run it.
Then make and make install. Make sure the client just built is not started and running. cd to the directory above client in the Xymon install directory - tar it up = voila! - a Solaris 10 client ready to deploy. You may want to do this in a chrooted jail so it does not interfere with current client set up. Any way you go - it is best to start with a clean build area. I like to use a client server that needs a new client. First one is the build center for that OS and version. I build it out configure it to what I need, including extra scripts and whatever. I verify it works, turn off the client
- clean up logs and temp, make sure the etc files are set up for global use, then make a tarball of it. After I have the tarball - restart the client and away we go. The tar ball I use to deploy - very little to change in install.
Galen's site has the startup scripting needed to add Xymon in as a service in Solaris 10 - I don't know if it has been changed to xymon yet,but the one that had hobbit in it worked well = its very easy to edit and make the changes. (You will have to edit it anyways to tell it where everything is)
The Mac I leave to those who use it and know it well.

Hi all, I'm a bit new with solaris 10 and mac OSX. (took a day and a half.. And Counting to figure out how to compile!)
So I thought I'd ask if anyone has a precompiled mac osx or solaris 10 Client....
Thanks!

Hi,
you should run "devmon --readbbhosts -vvv --debug" and examine the output, if it was able to contact the switch and figure out the template for it from the sysdesc string.

Yep I noticed that: but I thought it wasn't working since I didn't see anything in the log file...LOL guess I assumed something would go wrong? LOL
Anyways I noticed the hosts.db file was being udpated.
Now the next step is to figure out how I go about doing the tests: bandwidth, uptime, etc for the asa5500

Hi William,
all you have to do is including your switches in the bb-hosts, with a line like this:
<IP> <host> # DEVMON
Then, run "devmon --readbbhosts", and the devmon process will start polling the switch.
HTH,
Harald

Well we have a few 2600's, and an ASA5500 that I'd like to grab info from, such as up time, bandwidth usage, etc.... I saw that there is a template for cisco ASA so I'm hoping its for that machine.
I'm new at this, and just trying to figure out what "switches" I have to put into the bb-hosts files...
(still haven't figured out what area to change: bb-hosts or the client
config files)...

Hi,
I'm looking for some Cisco devmon templates 2950, 1240 and ASA5500. Tks for any help
