Could you please explain a little about the differences of using the SNMP module in hobbit and using DEVMON ?
I'm busy in switching from Big Brother to hobbit and at the same time want to implement the old MRTG graphs of our cisco routers and switches into the hobbit monitoring. Which one should I use, Devmon of your new feature ?
Right now, you should use Devmon. It works, it is - from what I know - a lot more flexible, and it works with a lot of different types of network gear.
There are really just two reasons why I started doing some SNMP tools myself: 1) I was curious to see how it worked, and 2) I am not sure how Devmon would handle the 12.000 network interfaces that I must poll every 5 minutes. It might work just fine, I haven't really looked very much into how Devmon works.
