Re: [Devmon] devmon installation problem

[Roland S. <ro...@lo...>]

Hi,

Thanks for the point, didn't think about that.
As I said I've been trying a lot of specs/bb-hosts combinations.

Now I've changed bb-hosts to:
192.168.34.254 server001 # DEVMON:model(compaq;server)
and specs to.
vendor : compaq
model : server
snmpver : 2
sysdesc : Linux

All I get is this...

[11-02-17@07:11:41] Checking if  # DEVMON:model(compaq;server) matches NET:.
[11-02-17@07:11:41] Unknown model in model() option for server001

Do I need to add the model somewhere else?
Haven't changed anything else in my devmon setup more than devmon.cfg

As of now my requirements are really low.
The only thing I would like to accomplish is to get a SNMP status from 
server001
I only want to see if the SNMP daemon is running on server001, and get 
that logged on xymon.
There is no xymon client running on server001, and xymon can't run there 
(it's an appliance)
