Description:

This Monitoring ZenPack provides SNMP based monitoring for the Zeus Load Balancer software running on a Linux Host. Currently the ZenPack models and collects data about Virtual Servers and Pools on the Device. Standard SNMP Device statistics are also collected for the host as usual.

The ZenPack has the following Device Class(es)

• /Devices/Server/Zeus Device Class
  • ZeusVirtualServer Template provides:
    • Various Data Sources (SNMP)

• Graph Definitions
  • Virtual Server Traffic
    • virtualServerBytesInLo (counter)
    • virtualServerBytesOutLo (counter)
  • Requests (per second)
    • virtualServerTotalConn (counter)
  • Connections
    • virtualServerCurrConn (gauge)
    • virtualServerMaxConn (gauge)
  • Cache Hit Rate
    • virtualServerCacheHitRate (gauge)
  • Timeouts
    • virtualServerConnectTimedOut (counter)
    • virtualServerKeepaliveTimedOut (counter)
    • virtualServerDataTimedOut (counter)
  • Gzip Requests
    • virtualServerGzip (counter)
  • Gzip Savings
    • virtualServerGzipBytesSavedLo (counter)

Installation Requirements:

• Zenoss Versions Supported: 2.5 and up. It will most likely work with 2.4 but hasn't been tested.
• External Dependencies: None
• ZenPack Dependencies: None
• Installation Notes: zopectl restart; zenhub restart after installing this ZenPack.
• Configuration: Configure net-snmp to proxy requests to the Zeus SNMP interface by configuring Zeus to listen on an unused port (say 1161) on localhost and adding the following line to the bottom of your /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf file: proxy -v1 -c public localhost:1161 .1.3.6.1.4.1.7146.1.2 and restart net-snmp. Don't forget to set appropriate SNMP settings in the zProperties of the Device Class.
