[Devmon] Problem while installing devmon

[Gé J. <ge....@gm...>]

Hi,

Recently I updated my xymon server to 4.23 and I started testing devmon.

Unfortunately I can't get it working. Can someone point me to the right 
direction?

Steps I took:

Install xymon (/opt/monitor/xymon
install devmon (/opt/monitor/devmon-0.3.1-beta1/) and link -s 
devmon-0.3.1-beta1 devmon
install templates (devmon-templates-20080206) and link -s 
devmon-templates-20080206 templates

cp /usr/lib/mrtg2/*pm modules

configuring bb-hosts:
10.128.168.20   sw2950 # dialup http://sw2950/ ssh telnet 
DEVMON:tests(cpu,fans,power)


configuring devmon.cfg

BBHOSTS=/opt/monitor/xymon/server/etc/bb-hosts
DISPSERV=10.128.168.215 (and tried localhost)
DISPPORT=1984

crontab:
*/5 * * * *     root /root/devmon.sh

script:
callisto:/opt/monitor/devmon # cat /root/devmon.sh
cd /opt/monitor/devmon
/opt/monitor/devmon/devmon --readbbhosts


Tested so far:
callisto:/opt/monitor/devmon # snmpget -v2c -c public sw2950

is this OK??


If I do a:
./devmon -f -p -vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv

Everything checks out ok.

for instance:

<!-- DEVMON to RRD Physical 67%

Devmon version 0.3.1-beta1 running on callisto


If I do a telnet to the xymon server at port 1984 and copy this data, 
everything displays ok:

My interpretation is that devmon doesn't try to reach, or can't reach 
the xymon server. But what is wrong?

port, firewall, etc. is open and checks ok.

Thanks for your assistance.
