Hi folks,
because of the very good support I received here until now, I dare to ask another question. :-)
I added a "Network Host Interface" for a already monitored switch. Port-monitoring is done by default based on SNMP-value "ifDescr". Unfortunately my switches (all Allied Telesyn) send "IF-MIB::ifDescr.1 = STRING: Allied Telesyn Ethernet Switch".
I can customize port-descriptions but they are listed under "IF-MIB::ifName.1 = STRING: Port 2". Watch the difference of ifDescr and ifName !
How can I modify hyperic to use ifName instead of ifDescr to recognize each port?
Might there be another solution?
TIA
Tobias

We use ifDescr because ifName is only available if the device
implements the ifXTable (not all do). I have changed the plugin so
you can choose between ifDescr, ifName, ifAlias and ifIndex:
http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-112
The interfaces should be auto-discovered, but you can also create
them by hand if you wish.

I copied the plugin mentioned in HHQ-112 to the two directions mentioned. I tried to restart the agent in vain. I then restarted the server and crashed hypericHQ

You're having permissions problems. Looks like you installed HQ as one
user and are trying to start it as another user that has no perms on the
necessary files. Check the ownership of all the installed HQ files.
