To set up Zenoss device interaction, you configure properties for each device. Called configuration properties, these properties also are part of the model of the device. Use configuration properties to assign a range of device characteristics, such as:
Collection methods
Timeouts
Access details (such as SSH, SNMP, and WMI)
Configuration properties can be inherited and defined at different levels of the device class hierarchy, from the general “/” class to the individual device level. The lowest point in the hierarchy where this is defined is the configuration property that is assigned to the device.
