[hobbit] Cisco switches

SNMP community string specified correctly? Will the device talk to the devmon host (no ACL or other "blocks") in the way?

Devmon is still having a problem as per line below :

 

[root at nms01 etc]# /downloads/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts

[08-01-16 at 20:42:17] Could not query device: 192.168.18.72

[root at nms01 etc]#

 

Any ideas guys ?

I can ping the switch by its ip address but not by name from

hobbit server and feel therefore

That devmon -readbbhosts is having a problem resolving this. Do

I have to put in a name in the bb-hosts file ?

I have a single node running with devmon, but I also have a

database.

		The devmon.cfg is default. The correct path to

the bbhosts file is in the cfg file.

		Not too sure about creating the database though

cos the installation notes don't specify for a single node installation. Am I incorrect ?

	As I understand it, the database is only required if you

have multiple systems running devmon.
