Hi,
As a long time user of devmon, I'd be fascinated to see an enumeration of the bugs, features, patches etc in your repo.
One of the biggest "bugs" I've seen, and I haven't had time to chase it down is that over time devmon seems to leak memory like a sieve, becoming quite bloated. I run a cron job to kill (yes kill -9 ) and restart it every four hours... Not under systemd.
At NLR, devmon is running on a RHEL 6.10. There is a slight memory leak, probably in xymon or devmon, which requires a restart once every 2 or 3 months. Normally, a kernel update is issued by RedHat well before the memory utilisation becomes an issue.
We have multiple xymon servers running with uptimes ranging from weeks to months. One of them is running sinds june 2015!
If there is a memory increase, it's in xymon_rrd. xymon_rrd uses 3.054.896K on that server that's running since 2015.
I sometimes kill all xymon_rrd processes if we are getting low on memory.
