Like (0)
Hi
Can someone point me in the right direction, im new to Zenoss and Unix (windows Administrator) and Im looking to set up a zenoss box using WMI to monitor all our servers (150+). Ive tried to configure WMI but im getting nothing reported back to zenoss.
Ive installed the Zenpack but still I cannot get it work does anyone have any handy tips (p.s. snmp is turned off by default for security on all our servers)
The version of zenoss is the VMware download.
Thanks
in Advance for any assistance
Which zenpack? Which zenoss release? What are you trying to monitor?
Have you read the Zenoss Admin Guide or the Community FAQ?

Hi All
The version of zenoss I have is below, I have looked at the admin guide but the only way I get get any info back from the servers is to turn on SNMP, I know I must be doing something wrong !!!
I have set up the following within Devices\Classes "/Devices /Servers/" with domain admin credentials
zWinPassword Domain Admin password
zWinUser Domain Admin User
zWmiMonitorIgnore False
When installing the ".WMIPerf_Windows" Zenpack I also get the below error message I have downloaded it on several occasions with the same error message, I install the zenpacks from the web GUI.

From the error message, we see "ERROR: zenpack command failed. Reason: error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ZenPacks.community.WMIDataSource>=1.0')" This indicates that you're trying to install a ZenPack without the proper dependencies. You need to install WMI Data Source first.
Thanks,

Hi
I would like to set up a Domain account that would monitor all the servers wmi, once i get this far i could look at complicating things but i'm having issue getting this far.
id there an easy to follow how to guide ???
HI Alburnsy
Check out this posting
the error messages aren't there (due to the website cutover), but the links are there, I suggest you read the entire thing and implement all those modifications. I finally got WMI access working for a non domain user. it's a long and tough road to travel down, but in the end you make it.
Hope it helps
Alzoo
Thanks
I rolled back the VM today and started over ....... now its looking a little beter.
but still nothing with WMI
This may be a stupid question but is it possible to monitor Servers without having snmp turned on, all out servers have it turned off for security holes.
so Im looking to monitor servers with WMI only ( can this be done)...
