I've been beating my head against a wall on this and finally admit I don't have a clue why it is not working. We're just getting started with Hobbit, but plan on making it our main monitoring solution. I've got devmon running with it and have been able to monitor the devices that already have templates. However, some of our devices don't have templates, so I'm trying to define one for them (Weather Goose environmental monitors).
To start, I'm just trying to define a simple temperature test. I can see that devmon is reading the files and all seems to be OK. However, I get the dreaded "No SNMP data found for upsenvTempwx on ..." and the test does not work. I can do an snmpget on the same oid and it returns data with no problem.
I've seen other notes like this in the archives, but never any solution. I've redone the template files over and over, but nothing seems to make a dent. I'll include my files in case one of you can see what I'm doing wrong. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have no experience with devmon, so I can not give You any any advice on that. According to your description, the problem lies elsewhere. What is the configuration? I presume the snmp server is host A and You are fetching it from host B. Are there any firewall rules restricting traffic between the hosts? Are there any restrictions in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny} in either host A or B? Are there any restrictions on traffic to and from localhost (127.0.0.1) ?
I will soon be using devmon in conjunction with Hobbit, so I would very much like to learn from your experience.

Hi all
Is there a document, web site or mailing list with more assistance for Devmon? Currently I am getting rather frustrated with it. The instructions are something along the lines of
- Install like so
- ???
- Results.
I need a little more help with step 2. Even though I have followed step 1. to the letter and am getting something that looks sane in the devmon hosts.db, I am still getting no results in hobbit. Nothing in the logs either :-(
Does devmon have a debug mode to force it to log?
In the bb-hosts file, I have this. 11.22.33.44 filer # netapp COMMENT:"Netapp01" DEVMON:tests(if_load,status,netapptemp),cid(Secret)
In he hosts.db I get this filer11.22.33.44Network AppliancesNetApp v1.0if_load,status,netapptempSecret
Crontab -l */5 * * * * /usr/local/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts
My devmon.cfg looks like this MULTINODE=NO BBHOSTS=/etc/hobbit/bb-hosts BBTAG=DEVMON SNMPCIDS=public,private,Secret NODENAME=HOSTNAME PIDFILE=/var/run/devmon/devmon.pid LOGFILE=/var/log/hobbit/devmon.log DBHOST=1.2.3.4 DBNAME=devmon DBUSER=devmon DBPASS=devmon BBTYPE=hobbit DISPSERV=localhost DISPPORT=1984 MSGSIZE=8096 MSGSLEEP=10 CYCLETIME=60 DEADTIME=180 CLEARTIME=180 NUMFORKS=10 MAXPOLLTIME=30 SNMPTIMEOUT=2 SNMPTRIES=5
But still nothing in Hobbit.
What now?

Which "instructions"? Devmon ships with an INSTALLATION file, and a USING file. I really can't see what is missing in the documentation, and unless you're more specific about which documentation you followed, I can't improve it.

I assume you've run --help, which lists:
Usage: devmon [arguments]
Arguments: -c Specify config file location -d Specify database file location -f Run in foreground. Prevents running in daemon mode. -p Print message. Don't send message to display server. print it to stdout -v Verbose mode. The more v's, the more vebose logging. --debug Print debug output (this can be quite extensive).
Mutually exclusive arguments: --readbbhosts Read in data from the BigBrother/Hobbit hosts file --syncconfig Update multinode DB with the global config options configured on this local node. --synctemplates Update multinode device templates with the template data on this local node. --resetowners Reset multinode device ownership data. This will cause all nodes to recalculate ownership data.
In the bb-hosts file, I have this. 11.22.33.44 filer # netapp COMMENT:"Netapp01" DEVMON:tests(if_load,status,netapptemp),cid(Secret)

Crontab -l */5 * * * * /usr/local/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts
I don't use this myself, and running it every 5 minutes is a bit excessive. I assume you are aware that this does *nothing* besides update the hosts.db file, it doesn't actually poll any devices.
My devmon.cfg looks like this MULTINODE=NO BBHOSTS=/etc/hobbit/bb-hosts BBTAG=DEVMON SNMPCIDS=public,private,Secret NODENAME=HOSTNAME PIDFILE=/var/run/devmon/devmon.pid
Is this file writable by the user that runs devmon?

Same question here.

Did you actually *start* devmon?
A sample init script is provided in the extras directory. This is covered in points 6 and 7 of the INSTALLATION file ...
Regards, Buchan
Yes, I believe you are correct that it is not started. Use the init script or just run the devmon executable and it should spawn some daemons. The --readbbhosts just imports the configs from bbhosts but doesn't actually run the tests and send the results.

I monitor these with mrtg and use bbmrtg to drop the status into hobbit. I have about 70 of them.

upsEnvTempwx : .1.3.6.1.4.1.17373.2.2.1.5 : leaf
it depends when version of code you are running on the weathergoose. in a few versions, when you poll that oid, it responds with an OID/Instance pair. snmpget doesn't seem to care. But SNMP_Tools.pm throws a fit when the request doesn't match the response.
You might try .1.3.6.1.4.1.17373.2.2.1.5.1 instead.
thresholds:
Note that the watchdog reports degrees C, not F.
upsEnvTempwx : red : 105 : Temperature is very high upsEnvTempwx : yellow : 99 : Temperature is high
