Re: [Devmon] Help with devmon develop

[Mario A. P. <row...@gm...>]

Hi Buchan,

How are you?

I Hope that everything is doing good for you right now.
I have good news of the v3 devmon support version.
I've decided to use Net_SNMP_util.pm utility and after some hard work, first
to discover how the things works and then how  SNMP_session works and how
they are parsed.

In my first release, I'm using only 3 parameters from v3 ( username,password
and protocol) and the others can be added with easy changes.

I will clean some code and send to you so you can make tests too.

In Net_SNMP_util.pm the sysUptime is not parsed in seconds, the result is
already parsed in days HH:MM:SS format. So for example the cpu monitoring
'sysuptime' don't work as the previous version.

Do you think that already exist a way in devmon to transform it or we have
to develop? I'm asking this because I would like to maintain my cpu uptime
monitoring and the new version needs to be compatible with the old one
templates, right?

Regards,

Mario.
