Re: [Devmon] sysdescr problem with f5 bigip template

[Schwimmer, E. E *H. <EE...@hs...>]

Yes.  That, unfortunately, is a hack.  You'll have to manually specify
the devmon template that you want to use (via the model() option in your
bb-hosts).  There are too many vendors out there that use the standard
net-snmp daemon without modifying the sysDescr flag, so this becomes
necessary.

Subject: [Devmon] sysdescr problem with f5 bigip template

We are evaluating a F5 BigIP 6800 and I was trying to monitor it with=20
devmon and the default f5-bigip template set distributed in the tarball.

  I knew something was amiss when the first column that showed up after=20
I pointed devmon at the bigip  was called "raid", not "if_load".

Turns out the sysdescr string that the big ip returns looks like this:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 =3D STRING: Linux hostname.example.com=20
2.4.21-9.1.2.37.0smp #2 SMP Tue Apr 25 15:38:38 PDT 2006 i686

Having "Linux" in the string makes it match the compaq-server template,=20
not the f5-bigip .  Has anyone else seen this?
