Components:

The ZenPack has the following new Device Class

• /Devices/Example/TestClass
• Components are:
  • ExampleComponent which has details for:
    • Device description, Status and Errors for device components gathered using the Host Resources MIB

Modeler plugins are deliberately kept simple:

• community.snmp.ExampleHostResourcesSNMP
  • Gathers component device information from the Host resources MIB for device Description, Status and Errors
• community.cmd.ExampleCMD
  • Gathers hard disk information using a df command

Device component template ExampleComponent collects devErrors values from Host Resources MIB and graphs it

Lots of example menu code in:

• configure.zcml
• interfaces.py
• info.py
• routers.py
• facades.py
• command.py
• browser/configure.zcml
• browser/resources/js  for serveral javascript examples
