It uses the final data to determine if the remote device is in an abnormal or critical state, and reports accordingly to the Xymon display server. - Devmon provides a solution that is very efficient, fault-tolerant, scalable and maintainable. - Devmon supports a flexible, user-customizable template system, which allows an end user with little or no programming knowledge to easily create test logic for any number of different types of devices. ## Technologies Used - Xymon - SNMP - Perl5 - MySQL (for multi-node configuration) ## Features - Multithread polling engine - Devmon is able to spawn a user-configurable number of child processes to offload the SNMP v1,v2c,v3 query workload to. This allows for the rapid query of a large number of remote devices. - Device discovery process - Scan each device for any SNMP security authentication combination and store it in a persistent storage until a re-scan is performed - A scalable tool - For smaller networks (<200 devices), Devmon can be run in a "single node" configuration, and can be run from the same server as the Xymon display server. - For larger, enterprise networks, Devmon can run in a 'multi node (cluster)' configuration (WIP), with all nodes using a MySQL back-end server (which can also be a cluster, for maximum fault tolerance) for data storage, load balancing, and fault tolerance or simply in "single node" in its own dedicated server (recommended so far) ## Screenshots  ## Setup - In order for Devmon to do anything useful, you will need a machine capable of running the Perl interpreter, which is used to execute the Devmon code. Please consult the INSTALLATION file located in the docs directory. - In addition, you will need a machine (either the same machine running Devmon, or a different one) running the Xymon monitoring program, which displays the messages that Devmon generates. - Finally, you will need your to have your Xymon program set up to monitor at least one host that Devmon has a template for. Only then will Devmon be able to poll a remote host and display the results. For more information on Devmon's template system, please consult the TEMPLATES file located in the docs directory. ## Usage How does one go about using it?
