Galen,
I was pretty familiar with deadcat. I'd say you got the lions share of what was useful.
Devmon itself is kind of barren. As I mentioned, with devmon, I've been able to identify SNMP differences between platforms and something that *looks* like a memory leak. I have to kill devmon periodically and restart it to eliminate the memory it comes to use. I haven't really had time to chase that down though.
Regards,
Bruce Ferrell

Unfortunately, I was only able to rescue some bits of deadcat, I was hoping to be able to save more but it didn't pan out and I have no idea what Dell did with that content. Devmon is likely the best option for now. There is a section for Devmon on Xymonton but it is, sadly, barren. IIRC, Henrik was looking to add SMTP traps to Xymon 5 but that has not yet surfaced outside of mentions in the mailing list archives.

Jason, I'm a long time BB/Xymon user. The original FOSS BB, had no trap handler. I see from poking google, the professional version of BB did/does have one: http://bb.etermar.pt/bb/skins/eng/help/help/Receiving_SNMP_traps.htm I'm sure I'll be corrected if I'm wrong but I don't think xymon has a native one either, but I remembered this is from the days of the FOSS BB: http://cerebro.victoriacollege.edu/hobbit-trap.html And you may or may not already know about xymonton... It seems to have copies of all the stuff deadcat used to have for BB. https://wiki.xymonton.org/doku.php I usually have to tweak the stuff from xymonton to get it to work right, but it's been extremely useful And just on the general topic of SNMP: After 30 years messing with networks, I have discovered that SNMP is NOT always what I expect. Different implementations some times return different results. Most of my systems are linux with net-snmp. I have a few, that I recently have begun to monitor, that are OS X (various revisions) with net-snmp. The data returned isn't always the same as my linux boxen. Again, I've had to fiddle a bit to find the OIDs for what I'm trying to watch. Same deal for Cisco gear.... And THAT varies from model to model! Devmon is what I've been using for that.
