WMI Modeler Plugins

Hello Everyone,

I want to build a new Collector Plugin with WMI, For Hyper-v

I've made a Python Code for that but when I run Zenmodeler they are no WMI Plugins, I've put my own plugin in collector for this machine.

How I can found Why the plugin is not launched ?

They are a way for Debug Why zenoss Cannot launch a plugin ?

thanks by advance

Regards,

Pixmind

Re: WMI Modeler Plugins

I've been working on my own ZenPack and tutorial series, so I have a few pointers why modelers may not load.

Make sure your plugin is in the right directory (for example: ZenPacks/community/OSX/modeler/plugins/zenoss/cmd/osx/cpu.py)
When you load the ZenPack, check the zenhub.log for any errors in the source for the actual modeler plugin.
Check the __init__.py where you setZenProperty( 'zCollectorPlugins', plugins )(eg. ZenPacks/community/OSX/__init__.py)
Make sure it's listed in your objects.xml (see lines 5-7 for an example: http://zenpacks.zenoss.org/trac-zenpacks/browser/tags/osx-0.2/ZenPacks/community/OSX/objects/objects.xml).
After you load your ZenPack, restart zope and zenhub.

Let me know if there's anything else I can help out with, looking forward to a Hyper-V ZenPack.

Thanks,
