I'm not familiar with devmon but custom tests are described in sufficient detail here: http://www.xymon.com/hobbit/help/hobbit-tips.html
Good Luck.

I have installed Hobbit on a Dell R-610 on CentOS 5.4. I have installed Net:SNMP so that I can query a MIB.
I am looking for a good setup guide/HOW-TO to integrate a test to controlling an ICON on a device. I must be searching in the archive for the wrong string.
I want to test a MIB or MIBs and then trigger a change in the ICON red, yellow, green e.g. temperature of a device, or reserve power in a UPS
I am also looking for a GOOD ☺ HOW-TO for setting up DEVMON on the Xymon server. It seems that it can read the bb-hosts file to find the devices to monitor. But then again, I read that you have to edit a configuration file for the device and the test to run. I could not find a good testing info source of the options that are available. If you use the config file does it then only test the devices in the configs file vs. the bb-hosts file?
Thanks,
