I think one of the devmon users in my LUGs IRC channel may have started a template for HP ProCurve switches. I will try and check with him tomorrow.

The method I usually use is to first just walk the device with snmpwalk, and see if the device supports standard MIBs. In many cases, network devices support the basics of IFMIB, and quite a few devices support parts of the HOST-RESOURCES-MIB. If this is the case for the HP ProCurve switches, you can start off by:

1)Creating a new directory in the templates directory, something like 'hp-procurve'. In this directory, create the specs file, and ensure that vendor is exactly the first part of the directory name you created (e.g. 'hp'), and the model is exactly the second part of the directory name (e.g. 'procurve'). Try and use a regex for sysdesc that is generic enough to match most compatible devices, but specific enough to exclude others (if you have trouble with this, send the sysdescr.0 value you get).

2)Copy the if_* directories from the linux-openwrt template (they are generic enough and use only IFMIB OIDs, unlike the Cisco templates) into your hp-procurve directory.

3)If you get memory and cpu values from HOST-RESOURCES-MIB, then you can try copying the cpu and memory tests from the linux-openwrt template as well.

You can also post some of the snmpwalk output if you get stuck.

Finally, if there are OIDs that are not from standard MIBs, I often use http://www.mibdepot.com to investigate the MIBs (or, if I have the MIB file, tkmib is quite convenient).

Or devmon:

If you're using the rc script /etc/init.d/devmon, there's an option:

RUNASUSER=devmon

Make sure the user you select can read the devmon config files and write to /var/run/devmon/.

One of my colleagues has actually been working on some devmon templates for other printers (Kyocera, HP). He hasn't finished them, otherwise they would be in svn ...

Any contributions are welcome! However, as there are some changes I would like to make to how the templates work (e.g., use MIB data, either by using a MIB parsing module, or switching SNMP modules to one that supports MIB parsing, also making templates more generic and allow more than one template to be used per device), I haven't wanted to spend too much time on documenting things that may not be necessary in future. But, improvements to the existing documentation to make it more accurate etc. would still be worthwhile now.

BTW, I feel this may be more appropriate for the -devel list (but if you don't agree, we can keep it on this list).

Hi,

I've finally managed to get Devmon/Xymon to talk SNMP to an hp laserjet printer and am really impressed with the documentation. The only problem I had was as a result of not reading it correctly LOL. I've recommended this solution to the company where I work, so I will have to produce ample documentation for support staff. I was wondering if you would like me to help the project by proofreading the documentation? I will be doing it anyway while I incorporate it into our support documentation.

GRAPHING says add testname=devmon to TEST2RRD in hobbitserver.cfg,
e.g. if_load=devmon.

When I use "if_load=devmon" in TEST2RRD, the RRD data is collected,
but the graph is not displayed in the if_load status.
When I use "if_load", the graph is displayed in the if_load status,
but the RRD data is not collected.

Devmon-0.3.1-beta1; Xymon 4.2.3-RC1 (soon 4.2.3), which includes
do_devmon.c and the patch.

Should "if_load=devmon" be displaying the graph in the if_load status?
Is more patching needed?

The majority of the content of that mail is obsolete. I don't see why people 
*first* search the internet for outdated information, when the original

Well, Devmon doesn't really do any graphing. The majority of this is done by 
Hobbit.

Well, the first question is, do you have RRD files? If so, then:
1)Devmon is providing the RRD data in the status messages sent to Hobbit
2)The devmon RRD collector for Hobbit is collecting the data out of the status 
message
3)In Hobbit, if you have RRD files, and no graphs, then you are usually 
missing the graph definition. See extras/devmon-graph.cfg, if your 
hobbitgraph.cfg has a statement such as 'directory /etc/hobbit/hobbitgraph.d', 
then you can just drop extras/devmon-graph.cfg in that directory.

Ideally, do an svn check out, svn add the new files, file an issue (ideally 
one per template) on the tracker (as a patch), and attach the output of 'svn 
diff'. For templates not based on standards track MIBs, it would be great to 
include the MIB as well.

It helps if you are a sourceforge user, and file the issue when logged in, as 
if I have any queries when adding/testing/including the template, you will be 
informed of any questions.

How do these two differ from the existing ironport-asyncos template? We're 
monitoring 10 X1060's and 3 M1060's with the 'ironport-asyncos' template.

Re: [Devmon] Undefined subroutine &dm_templates

[Johann E. <Joh...@te...>]

So, that's exactly what a colleague of mine encountered as well.

 

He did a devmon installation without the template directory...

 

On devmon startup a routine in the dm_templates.pm is used to read the template directory. And this seems to be your error.

 

The templates are one of the core components of devmon. They are used by devmon to define what OID's should be queried from the device(s) and how to process the data and generate the output that will be send to the Xymon/Hobbit server.

 

You need to download and install the devmon-templates package from Sourceforge as well.
