Ok I am fairly new to zenoss and work mostly with windows boxes. We are starting to move alot of our boxes from our NOC to AWS and figured this would be a perfect setup, but after following very simple directions I can not get zenoss to report any data from each instance. EC2Instances show all 30 of my Instances running but when you click on them to see the data.... nothing is there, no CPU, no hard drive, nothing... After googling for 2 days I am drawing a blank? It seems nobody has this problem but me. Why would it report its state but not the data associated with it? Almost like it modeled the Cloud but not the instances? Thanks in advance for your help..

I can't say I've seen this problem. Are you use your snmp community is right and snmpd is enabled on the instances?

Re: AWS not returning stats

I was under the impression zenoss would pull data that cloud watch was already monitoring.... since zenoss turns on detailed monitoring for all instances... at least give me SOME data other than running or stopped? am I wrong in thinking this?

Re: AWS not returning stats

David Huffman:

Individual instances in Zenoss are added as devices and linked as instances under the EC2 host device. The majority of the monitoring gets done the old fashoined way. Although some of what you want is available via the API viewed from the EC2 host -> Instances screen, whats shown there is very limited.

Re: AWS not returning stats

OK I could deal with some information until I enabled snmp butI I get nothing.... no cpu, no network, not even if viewed as the instance type ... just monitored=true status=up and at the instance level running or stopped.. that can't be all the data thats coming from cloud watch, can it?

Re: AWS not returning stats

David Huffman:

That's odd that those graphs on the instance view aren't filling. I looked at a customer using the most recent AWS pack and it too has no data in instance view. Might be broken in the updated pack.

Re: AWS not returning stats

This still seems to be a problem. Any resolutions?
