Re: [Devmon] devmon not able to query pix

[Sam A. <s_...@as...>]

Dear Buchan,
    I apologize up front if I am mistaken, but it looks as though either:
    a) you are using the word 'sysdesc' in the oids file without 
defining its numeric oid first;
    b) the timeout and retry values in the devmon.cfg file are too short 
for your PIX;
    c) the box where you did the snmpwalk is not the the box on which 
devmon is running and there is a firewall (perhaps the PIX itself) 
blocking the snmp query.
    (a) is unlikely because you are knowledgeable and started with a 
working template, but just in case, do
    # snmpget -On -v 1 -c 'xxxx' pix.ip.address sysdesc.0
    which will return the numeric value for the system descriptor which 
you can then put into your oids file.
    If (b), edit [/usr/local?]/devmon/devmon.cfg and increase the 
timeout and retry values.

    Good luck,
    Samuel Asher
