I'm interested in devmon templates too it's possible to make them available on theshire or devmon sourceforge page or in some other places? I'm a bit lazy about snmp but I think that if everyone who create some template for devmon will share them we will have some more to play with :D

Yup,
I can send you the templates we are currently using...

Related to this would anyone be willing to send me any cisco, hp/dell (printer) oids they know work?
But as for helping as Johann said you add a DEVMON tag to the bb-hosts for the switch etc you want tested (you can force using DEVMON:model(<vendor>;<model>) ) after you have done this you run devmon --readbbhosts and it will search through for usable tests it can run and report any entries that do not have matching templates, you can also look in /var/logs/devmon.log for useful output messages
Any templates you create must follow this structure
DIR:name (best to use vendor-model) | |--specs (must contain vendor, model, snmpver and sysDesc) |--DIR:test (this will be the name reported to hobbit) | |-- oids (contains oids and handles you assign |-- message (message format reported to hobbit) |-- thresholds(when to generate status changes and messages to use) |-- transforms (data manipulation) |-- exceptions (what is sounds like)
Thanks, Jason

A little correction:
Which device to query is determined by entries in the bb-hosts file.
You need the templates to specify what OID's to query, how to calculate/handle the output, define thresholds, generating the message...

We are currently monitor Cisco 6506, Cisco 4003, Cisco 1700 and Netapp boxes with devmon.
You have to create a template for the devices named by the model in the System Description of the snmp output. By this way the devmon daemon is able to determine what devices to query. You can use existing templates as a basis and change them to fit to your needs

Craig
Run strings against the hosts.db and you will see better output. I too have been trying to setup devmon and cant get it working either, having same problems as you. Run devmon with the --readbbhosts option, I even used the -vv to see some info, it identifies the switch correctly and looks like its using the right template, but no output or anything in the log file.
Anyone else have this working?

I have a cisco 3550 switch I am trying to use devmon with.
SNMP is enabled in the switch, but devmon does not seem to do anything with it.The templates dir has cisco-3500 listed as a device it knows about...
