Run strings against the hosts.db and you will see better output. I too have been trying to setup devmon and cant get it working either, having same problems as you. Run devmon with the --readbbhosts option, I even used the -vv to see some info, it identifies the switch correctly and looks like its using the right template, but no output or anything in the log file.
Anyone else have this working?

SNMP is enabled in the switch, but devmon does not seem to do anything with it.The templates dir has cisco-3500 listed as a device it knows about...
Single devmon server.

--readbbhosts option only creates the hosts.db file, nothing else. You then need to start the devmon proccess without the --readbbhost option for it to query the SNMP devices. After starting it doing a ps -ef should should then number of threads (configured in cfg file) + 1.
Maybe I missunderstood, but happy to help with the experience I have had.

Can somebody tell me about this windows client I have heard mentioned?
Where do I get it? Does it work? What advantage does it have over the BB
windows client?
thanks

It's here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bbwin
I haven't tried it as I'm not allowed to use Hobbit to monitor systems. I'm just barely allowed to use it for URL: monitoring. Office politics... :)

Works like a charm and certainly fuller featured than te BB client (and a better fit with Hobbit).

I am using the windows client bbwin, it works great. I am still testing it before I roll it out to the production systems. But so far no complaints.

This is not the Windows client you've heard of, but I'll mention it anyway in case someone is interested:
http://extranet.365-24.se/MrBig/
It is compatible with Big Brother and Hobbit servers and runs on any Windows version from 4.0 up to and including 6.0 (Longhorn) build 5600. It is possible that it runs on Windows 98 too, but we don't host any such "servers" anymore. ;-)
