Adding new Tabs

Hello !

As a newbie to Zenoss I have a simple question:

Zenoss shows tabstrips on the screen as 'Software', 'Hardware' and so on.

Is it possible to add own tabstrips to the overview ? The sence is to

creat own regions for example referring to the state of databases and so on.

Thanks in advance for your help and many greetings,

Gerrit

    You can add tabs, but you'll have to do development work... code them

    in. This probably would be answered in the dev forum.

    Dear James,

    thanks a lot for your quick and helpfull answer !

    Unfortunately your solution means the worst case, which I supposed.

    As I understand, when programming add-ons to Zenosss, they will be

    lost with every update of Zenoss. So I will better make an own solution,

    using Zenoss for Hardware monitoring and my own stuff for special SNMP waching.

    Your replay is very helpfull as I can stop to search in Zenoss for this

    special problem. No waist of time.

    Thanks a lot and best wishes,

    Gerrit

    Re: Adding new Tabs

    It is possible to add new tabs to devices using a ZenPack. This means that your modifications won't be affected by upgrading Zenoss. I have an ZenPack that is checked into the community repository called ZenPacks.example.Techniques that illustrates how to achieve this.

     

    Browse source for ZenPacks.example.Techniques:

    http://zenpacks.zenoss.org/trac-zenpacks/log/zenpacks/ZenPacks.example.Techniques

     

    The specific changeset that adds a new "Custom" tab to all devices:
