[2008-12-18 10::02:56] jmp242: great! Any input on the Event Transform "area" that's been kicked around the forum

[2008-12-18 10::35:18] jmp242: Part of your event mapping guide in the Admin Guide probably ought to give a discussion on scope of event transforms
[2008-12-18 10::35:53] __ian__: I believe there's actually a ticket open
[2008-12-18 10::38:22] realmelancon: ian: Thanks a lot. Please post it to the forum once you have the answer.
[2008-12-18 10::38:28] __ian__: realmelancon: what version?
[2008-12-18 10::38:38] realmelancon: from 2.2.4 to 2.3.2
[2008-12-18 10::38:59] __ian__: using DistributedCollector?
[2008-12-18 10::39:11] realmelancon: ian: yes.
[2008-12-18 10::39:25] ** __jason__ joined the chat room.
[2008-12-18 10::39:52] __ian__: You upgrade the main zenoss server. You then use the Update Hub and Update Collector menu items to update each hub/collector other than the original localhost/localhost ones.
[2008-12-18 10::40:17] realmelancon: ian: well not sure if its called Distributed Collectors (this is core version)
[2008-12-18 10::40:36] mrayzenoss: ahhh, you did it by hand?
[2008-12-18 10::42:34] realmelancon: mrayzenoss: Yes. by hand. OK. That makes sense.
[2008-12-18 10::43:15] mrayzenoss: realmelancon: Did you follow the remote SNMP instructions? I'm always curious how well those work
[2008-12-18 10::44:19] __jason__: Do you have a zenhub on the remote server or are those collectors talking to the hub back on the main zenoss server?
[2008-12-18 10::44:27] ** __jason__ is now known as zenossjason.
[2008-12-18 10::44:42] realmelancon: mrayzenoss: yes. and it works perfectly for me
[2008-12-18 10::44:48] ** zenossjason is now known as jasonzenoss.
[2008-12-18 10::45:08] realmelancon: jason: the collectors all talk directly to the main server.
[2008-12-18 10::46:16] jasonzenoss: It's a bit tougher in that situation. Updates to the hub on the main servers could in theory break communications with the remote daemons until you've updated them too. So the general answer is that you need to update both at the same time.
[2008-12-18 10::46:32] realmelancon: then i log on the collectors and restart zenrender
[2008-12-18 10::46:46] jmp242: I'm wondering - is it by design that event transforms do not inherit down the class heirarchy (or really anything doesn't seem to inherit down necessarily)
[2008-12-18 10::46:47] jasonzenoss: I don't know specifically with the versions you are upgrading from/to if that's the case or not though.
[2008-12-18 10::47:57] realmelancon: jasonzenoss: thanks. i will backup everything first, update central server, then the collectors.
[2008-12-18 10::48:34] jasonzenoss: jmp242: zProps are the only thing that really inherit down the device class hierarchies I think
[2008-12-18 10::49:59] realmelancon: thanks to everyone. got 2 go.
[2008-12-18 10::50:04] ** realmelancon left the chat room.
[2008-12-18 10::51:33] jasonzenoss: Didn't earlier versions of zenoss allow event transformations to be defined on any event class? Maybe I'm thinking of something else, but I think that changed around 2.2 or so.
[2008-12-18 10::55:32] jmp242: I thought so
[2008-12-18 10::56:00] jasonzenoss: I don't know offhand why that change was made.
[2008-12-18 10::56:03] jmp242: or we need to get that working again for a class
[2008-12-18 11::05:21] ** JKilgore left the chat room.
[2008-12-18 11::07:53] jasonzenoss: jmp242: Unfortunately they couple people who can probably best discuss mappings aren't around today. You might want to raise the subject again here after the holidays when we can drag them into the discussion.
