[Devmon] Poll one device with a diff string

[<kco...@ry...>]

Hey, new to the list....

Quick question....

Can I specify a different read string for one particular device/host in bb-hosts ?

You can specify the community string in the hosts file by appending
cid(publicstring) to your DEVMON settings for the host.  An example can be
seen here:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/System_Monitoring_with_Xymon/Other_Docs/HOWTO/Devmon_SNMP#Add_the_target_device_to_your_hobbit_setup

Most other settings can be overridden on a per-host basis in this way.

Cheers
