Yes, that's what he meant - the built in classes are pre-set with
appropriate Templates and collector plugins. However, in the Zenoss
world, you do want to separate out by device classes different
monitoring methods - that's how it works.
It makes almost no sense to try and hit a server with both SSH and SNMP
for the same thing, knowing that you're at best getting duplicate
graphs, and more likely one of the methods is getting constant access
denied errors that generate events etc. . .

James, that's what I thought too. Zenoss gives you a lot of flexibility when it comes to creating classes to assign devices and zProperties to,
and to limit each class to only one type of modeling service seems restrictive, unless what Matt was talking about
was certain, "pre-built" or default classes are customized for a particular modeling service,
like /Server/Linux would be SNMP based.
