Re: [Devmon] Cisco 3750 Template & Newer Cisco firmware

[Andrew R. <an...@ei...>]

Sorry for the slow reply.

If someone wouldn't mind showing me how to exclude specific ports, I'm
OK with that.  What was the title of the thread on the hobbit list?

For the time being I modified dm_tests.pm to not go 'clear' if it hits
an 'Undefined', this allows hobbit to keep updating the remaining
rrds.
