I'm looking at getting another zenoss server up and running. What i would like to do is use this zenoss to collect from the other zenoss servers? I've been looking around and what i've been finding is i need Zenoss Enterprise to do this. Is that correct? or is there a way around that? I'm running version 3.1.0

Thanks!!

Re: Zenoss collectors

If you are talking about distributed collector it is possible in core but not 'officially' supported. There is a community zenpack by Egor that makes it much easier then doing it by hand.

Re: Zenoss collectors

Seconding dhopp. distributed collectors are what you are after, they are not 'supported' by work and Egor's pack is without a doubt the way to go.

Re: Zenoss collectors

Thanks for that. Thats a big help. Now i haven't played around with it to much yet, but when i collect from a remote server is there a way to collect only certain device classes? or do i have to collect everything?

Re: Zenoss collectors

I haven't used it, but if I recall correctly, you assign individual devices to collectors. Of course, you can do this programatticly.

Re: Zenoss collectors

Correct Devices are assigned to collectors, not device classes. Obviously you could assign all deviced in a device class to a set collector, achieving your desired end result

Re: Zenoss collectors

I have Egor's distributed collectors running on Zenoss 3.2.0 (CentOS 5.8 stack-installer). I'm planning to migrate my system to newer Zenoss 4.x (CentOS 6.3 rpms). Is this possible to run distributed collectors the same way on the new 4.x version?
