recreating a zenpack
-
Like (0)
So here's the explination-- we had a zenoss install where we haphazardly created zenpacks containing reports- then migrated those zenpacks to another host, and lost the original development zenpacks.
Now we're working on going from 2.3.2 (stack on opensuse) -> 2.4.5 (rpm on fedora) -> 2.5.1 (rpm on fedora) and I'm trying to make the moves as clean as possible, so I'm attempting to resolve our zenpack dependencies and what not so I can do a zenrestore from the old machine.
Is it possible to "delete" a zenpack in a way such that the contents are not erased? ie keep the reports that are contained in the zenpack
*or*
convert a zenpack back to development mode?
*or*
.... i'm open to suggestions.
Thanks Matt- I should have guessed there was a doc for that out there....
Though I'm still curious- once a *simple* zenpack is installed (assuming its never updated etc) does zenoss ever go back to the zenpack sources? ie- could you "fool" zenoss into thinking the included reports datasources etc are no longer part of a zenpack? Maybe in a similar fashion to how its recommended to "delete" the cisco mib zenpack from the dmd?
Reason I'm leaning in this direction is that the zenpacks have fallen into disrepair and I'd really love to just scrap the dependencies on them and then rebuild them and correctly maintain them.
