Hi all
Im a newbie to zenoss and evaluating implementing Zenoss to take over from our current Nagios monitroing solution.
I have downloaded and installed core 4.2 as well as some HP Proliant MIBs/ZenPacks.
I have installed them successfully via the GUI however, how do i get the zenpacks to apply to the servers that I wis to monitor?
I have tried searching and creating templates to apply to the server tree however I cant figure it out.
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance for your help!
You don't "apply zenpacks to servers". The Zenpacks are just a way to add functionality to zenoss. Different Zenpacks provide different functionality, and no single approach is used to fully take advantage of its features. The documentation for the pack should inform you of what needs to be done. I'm making an assumption that docs/DOC-3394 is one of the packs you are referring too? If so on that page it provides you with the following instructions:
Go to the specific device (yes, it needs to already be added).
1. From the > Menu select More -> Collector Plugins
2. Remove the zenoss.snmp.Cpu (click the X next to it)
3. Click "Add Fields"
4. Drag and drop all of the "community.snmp.HP*" entries in the right list over into the left list. Note that community.snmp.HPLogicalDiskMap, community.snmp.HPHardDiskMap and community.snmp.HPExpansionCardMap plugins must be at the end of lists.
5. CLICK SAVE (don't forget this step)
6. From the > Menu select Manage -> Model Device
7. Once it is completed modeling check out the hardware tab for the device, you should see CPUs, Harddrives, Fans, etc. If you don't you may have problems with snmp, so check those settings the usual way.
