The topic for #zenoss is: Zenoss 2.4.5 is Now Available: http://bit.ly/I7C3p (8:43:43 AM)
9:54:01 AM metalklesk: and i'm looking for alternatives to BMC software
9:54:19 AM jb: well, you found one
9:54:21 AM metalklesk: that's how i get to zenoss (and nagios too)
9:54:34 AM metalklesk: jejeje yes
9:55:55 AM metalklesk: one question, is it neccesary to install zen-plugins in, for example, suse to get it monitored using ssh ?
9:56:29 AM mrayzenoss: no
9:56:43 AM mrayzenoss: zen-plugins are deprecated in favor of SSH-based ZenPacks
9:57:20 AM metalklesk: ahh ok, great
9:57:52 AM cgibbons: eek my BMC filter fired
10:00:45 AM metalklesk: i'm not a bmc agent, i work in a TI consulter in Chile, which is a partner of bmc but i'm looking for alternatives because i'm a lover or open source and free software
10:01:20 AM metalklesk: you can visit my blog at http://metalklesk.blogspot.com (in spanish)
10:01:23 AM metalklesk:
mrayzenoss has changed the topic to: Zenoss Developers are here to answer your questions (10:04:39 AM)
10:05:30 AM jb: woo.
10:05:36 AM jb: anybody have any advice on how to make an aggregate report/graph? i have several graphs generated by the F5 BigIP LTM zenpack that graph throughput per virtual server. the problem is.. one application/site could potentially have multiple virtual servers.. i'd like to be able to create
10:05:37 AM jb: a graph that showed combined throughput between multiple F5 virtual servers.
10:06:09 AM rmatte: vinzpr: hold off for a bit on that ZenPack, I'm submitting another that's just going to monitor total CPU usage from a single template
10:12:48 AM metalklesk: can anyone tell me if in OS tab, the free space is showing correctly ? (monitoring linux via snmp)
10:12:57 AM metalklesk: zenoss 2.4.5
10:13:41 AM metalklesk: for me is showing incorrectly, i have /respaldo partition with 168 GB of free space but zenoss show me 179 GB
10:18:03 AM mrayzenoss: metalklesk: I'm wondering if this is related to reserved space for root?
10:18:04 AM mrayzenoss: http://www.zenoss.com/Members/netdata/linux-filesystems-and-snmp/
10:22:21 AM metalklesk: i don't think so, in all the partitions, even pendrives show me that value wrong
10:39:04 AM cgibbons: nice and quiet
10:39:43 AM jb: :/
10:46:51 AM danuvius: thx for the help got it fixed....
10:47:06 AM danuvius: zenhup was indeed trying to connect to not localhost
10:47:11 AM danuvius: bye
10:54:38 AM metalklesk: what can you say us about dinamic thresholds ?
10:54:55 AM metalklesk: is this feature like the one that BMC proactive net has ?
10:55:41 AM mrayzenoss: There's a Community ZenPack for that: http://www.zenoss.com/community/projects/zenpacks/predictivethreshold
10:55:53 AM mrayzenoss: and it's also a supported feature in Enterprise
10:56:00 AM metalklesk: yes, i saw it
10:56:18 AM metalklesk: does anyone have some experience to share about that ?
10:56:29 AM mrayzenoss: rocket wrote it, I've installed it
10:56:47 AM mrayzenoss: it uses the Holt Winters stuff from RRDTool
10:57:15 AM metalklesk: in the case of proactive net it must "learn", is this the same case in zenoss ?
10:57:34 AM metalklesk: i mean, zenoss learn the behavior ?
10:57:45 AM mrayzenoss: yeah, it tunes the thresholds over time
10:57:56 AM mrayzenoss: you can alter how it learns with the various options
10:59:22 AM metalklesk: so it can great
10:59:42 AM metalklesk: sorry
10:59:56 AM metalklesk: i mean, it is great
11:00:20 AM metalklesk: bmc portal doesn't have that feature
11:00:26 AM mrayzenoss: nope
11:00:26 AM metalklesk:
11:01:05 AM metalklesk: you said you installed that zenpack
11:01:20 AM metalklesk: does it work fine ?
11:01:24 AM metalklesk:
11:01:36 AM metalklesk: what can you say about it ?
11:02:52 AM mrayzenoss: it works fine, I provided the screenshots
11:03:00 AM metalklesk:
11:03:37 AM rmatte: vinzpr: hey
11:08:51 AM vinzpr: hi rmatte..i've already test your zenpack.. its working on memory
11:09:04 AM rmatte: k, I have a simpler one if you'd like it
11:09:06 AM vinzpr: i didnt used the cpu
11:09:10 AM vinzpr: yet
11:09:23 AM vinzpr: sure i luv too
11:09:27 AM rmatte: http://dmon.org/downloads/zenoss/ZenPacks.Nova.Windows.SNMPPerfMonitor.Simple-1.2-py2.4.egg
11:09:29 AM vinzpr: do you have it now
11:09:53 AM rmatte: install that and bind the SNMPDevice template to /Server/Windows
11:10:05 AM rmatte: The pack monitors total CPU usage and memory usage
11:10:11 AM rmatte: without monitoring each individual core
11:10:28 AM rmatte: let me know if you run in to any issues with it
11:11:24 AM vinzpr: ok i'll ping you later
11:11:29 AM vinzpr: downloading it now
11:11:44 AM rmatte: k
11:12:10 AM rmatte: you don't need snmp-informant at all with that pack
11:12:30 AM vinzpr: ok
11:13:28 AM rmatte: I'll add paging file support to it at some point, but it's pretty intensive as is, so I'm trying to keep it lightweight until I can optimize it
11:13:50 AM vinzpr: rockin..
11:14:22 AM rmatte: vinzpr: make sure you have "bc" and "snmpwalk" commands installed on your server
11:14:36 AM rmatte: the bash scripts depend on them
11:22:54 AM metalklesk: i will reboot my box and i will come back
11:23:08 AM metalklesk: i updated kde to 4.3.1 version
11:23:33 AM rmatte: hmmm, they are all the way to 4.3.1?
11:23:39 AM rmatte: I haven't used it since 4.0.3
11:23:42 AM rmatte: I switched to gnome
11:23:43 AM rmatte: lol
11:27:07 AM metalklesk: i'm back (like terminator)
11:28:38 AM mrayzenoss: well, I'm gonna go grab so lunch, so I guess this quiet session is "officially" over, but I'll still be around
11:28:57 AM rmatte: I totally forgot that it was session time lol
11:29:00 AM cgibbons: shhh
11:29:09 AM rmatte: hehe
9:54:01 AM metalklesk: and i'm looking for alternatives to BMC software
