 7. Collector Plugins

 Zenoss uses plug-in maps to map real world information into the standard model. Input to the plug-ins can come from SNMP, SSH or Telnet. Selection of plug-ins to run against a device is done by matching the plug-in name against the zCollectorPlugins zProperty. Plug-ins selected in zCollectorPlugins are the ones that are collected.

  • DeviceMap – Collects basic information about a device, such as its OS type and hardware model.

  • InterfaceMap – Collects the list of interfaces on a device.

  • RouteMap – Collects the routing table from the device.

  • IpServicesMap – Collects the IP services running on the device.

  • FileSystemMap – Collects the list of file systems on a device.
