Same thing here. It will run for up to 3 weeks and then go purple. Devmon is 
running on the same server as Hobbit. We're running release_0_3_0_beta2. So far 
I'm having hobbit page me so that I can shutdown devmon, make sure it's dead, 
then restart it. I do this manually so that I can get a sense of when it's failing.

I noticed that I was getting a lot of errors about an undefined variable in the 
log even after devmon goes purple, so I did a little looking around and found 
where the undefined variable was trying to be referenced in SNMP_Session.pm. I 
then put a debug message in SNMP_Session.pm so that When the failure happens I 
get a lot of log messages:

response_community is undefined, bailing out of receive_response_3
  at /path/to/devmon/modules/dm_snmp.pm line 469

This error can appear without devmon going purple, but it is always present when 
devmon has crapped out.
