Thanks Josh!

Thanks to ZenMaster Ryan Matte for upgrading his 2 Windows monitoring ZenPacks: Windows SNMP Performance Monitor (Simple) and Windows SNMP Performance Monitor (Advanced).  These ZenPacks allow you to monitor performance data (CPU and Memory) of  Windows hosts running the standard SNMP Service without needing  snmp-informant installed.  The upgrades fix a number of bugs and the Windows SNMP Performance Monitor (Simple) has been repackaged so it can be installed at the same time as the Advanced.

Thanks again Ryan!

Thanks to ZenMaster Mike Albon for updating his HPUX ZenPack, fixing a number of modeling issues.

Thanks Mike!

Thanks to Zenoss Community member David Buler for providing his EmailPing ZenPack for monitoring email-based alerting mechanisms.  If you use an email system and an Internet connection for event notification, you have numerous single points of failure that can prevent you from receiving alerts.  The email server itself, switch, firewall, power supply, ISP, etc...  EmailPing is designed to monitor your alerting mechanism as a single entity and generate events when there is a problem. When combined with SMS via modem, you can be notified if your email/Internet based alerting mechanism is down.

Thanks David!
