[Devmon] Wierd Issue with branch OIDs & TABLE template

[Aiello, S. \(G. C. consultant\) <ste...@ge...>]

Hi All,

I am working on creating a template for Compaq/HP Insight Manager. All
Compaq/HP servers run the insight manager health agents, and you can
pull some really nice information from them. But I have run into some
problems:

1. devmon doesn't like my templates at all. I believe I have setup all
my branches correctly, and my table looks loverly... But when I run
devmon I see the following:
-bash-2.05b$ ./devmon -vvvvv -f
[06-03-22@11:48:52] Nodename autodetected as SERVERNAME

Can't use string ("green") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at
/data/BB/devmon-dev/modules/dm_tests.pm line 1427, <$__ANONIO__> line
957.

Now my solution was to edit modules/dm_tests.pm and comment out "  use
strict;". Not a real fix, but after I do that, my templates are
displayed and tables are right. So I believe it is a devmon code issue
and not me writing a fault template. I have attached my template so far,
for your review.

2. When polling data from the Integrate Management Log (IML), You can
get the date of the Event. Now somebody in their infinite wisdom decided
to offer this data in the form of HEX. I thought maybe I could pull the
bits (year, month, day) apart using the REGSUB transform option. But I
wanted to see exactly the raw data given to devmon. When I add that OID
alias to my message file, anything after that HEX Code alias, is not
shown. Do not believe any errors are being displayed in the devmon log.
