You may want to use the Devmon mailing list for your devmon woes, devmon-support-bounces at lists.sourceforge.net.
By default, when you start devmon, devmon runs as a daemon. to troubleshoot you can use the -f option to keep it in the foreground, i.e. ./devmon -f -vvvv
that may output information to point you in the right direction.

Also forgot to mention my devmon.log file is empty.
Permissions on it are fine.Trent

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
