[Devmon] devmon PID not running.

[Ambati S. <am....@gm...>]

*Hi Guys,

Please, Please help me out.

I have installed Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 on Sun Solaris* *(SunOS bsma06 5.10
Generic_139555-08 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R), I had successful
installation. I had installed Devmonn-0.3.0. and SNMP_Session-1.13 also to
monitor few network devices (Cisco Switches and routers). however when I
grep for devmon no PID shows up as shown below:

-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep devmon
    root  6849  3708   0 14:06:33 pts/1       0:00 grep devmon
-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep Devmon
    root  6858  3708   0 14:06:42 pts/1       0:00 grep Devmon
-bash-3.00# ps -ef | grep DEVMON
    root  6897  3708   0 14:07:01 pts/1       0:00 grep DEVMON

As shown in devmon.cfg
# PIDFILE: Sets the full path to the Devmon process ID file.  The directory
# containing this file should be read/writable by the user running the
Devmon
# process. (case sensitive) [DEFAULT: /var/run/devmon/devmon.pid]
PIDFILE=/var/run/devmon/devmon.pid

Please let me know what more details you may require.

some info I am providing: I manually changed owner and group of files to
root:root, earlier they were 501:501, which I didn't understand.
/usr/local/**devmo**n
-bash-3.00$ ls -l
total 86

Thanks so much.

You didn't state that you had attempted to start it. If it does not start, the 
recommended route would be to look at the options it supports (by providing 
the --help option). Specifically, -v or --debug may help.

Does this directory exist, and is it writeable by the user devmon runs as? If 
not, it *should* log this to the log file, *if* it has permission to write to 
the log file. In 0.3.1-beta1 I think I fixed it to log to the console if it 
could not open the log file ...

It is your responsibility to ensure correct ownership of file extracted from a 
tarball. This is however another reason for me to consider providing a make 
file just to provide an install target.

It would help me if you could tell me what documentation you were following, 
so that I can improve it to address any areas that were not covered 
sufficiently.

Assuming you   run devmon as the 'devmon' user:

# mkdir /var/run/devmon

# chown devmon /var/run/devmon

then try again

Yep, PID and log file directory creation are not covered, I will try and update 
the documentation this week.
