Hi, sorry for the earlier mail..i want to know which one is good for xymon for network devices monitoring..devmon/mrtg. Please help.
It's a religious question. I use mrtg because it supports snmp-v3, I already have my templates built, and I can live with the hack that is bb-mrtg.pl. Other people like devmon, but I haven't been able to test it because of the snmp-v3 issue.
I use devmon for some device polling, although it takes some time writing templates for devices.
For the equivalent of mrtg, you can more or less copy an existing template. The template complexity comes in when you want to do something *more* complex than what mrtg does.
Instead of mrtg we use Cacti. It's easier to manage and most device templates already exist for importing.
Which devices do you need templates for? Have you tried creating templates for them in devmon?
