Zenpacks on new wiki question
-
Like (0)
I understand there are community Zenpacks and those that are for the commercial side. However, when supposedly looking at the community Zenpacks on the wiki I am seeing those that require commercial support. Is this just a growing pain for the new wiki or am I missing something.
I don't love it, but the new wiki isn't just for community zenpacks. I think many commercial customers also come to the community for help before going to Zenoss support. Or it's a bit of less obtrusive advertising to community memebers about what commercial zenpacks there are.
I'd personally like to see the commercial zenpacks in a separate page / section, or at least clearly marked before I click through to the full description page, but I don't know if Zenoss would do that...

I understand where you are coming from but have both on one wiki is not my issue.
My issue is that if you go to the main screen for the Zenpacks, you are presented with text that shows:
Community ZenPacks
If you notice, the Community ZenPacks text is not a hyperlink which would lead one to believe that the listed ZenPacks are community based and to see the Core and Commercial ZenPacks, you would click on the appropriate hyperlink. In fact, if I recall correctly, you do actually see only the Core ZenPAcks when clicking that link.
For example, if you look at the list when supposedly at the Community list, you will find ZenPack: Cisco Devices. When clicking through to that link, you discover that it is commercial based only. However, if you click the Commercial ZenPacks link, the Cisco ZenPack is not listed. It is almost like the maintainers of the wiki are not linking the packages to the correct groups.
That is what is confusing and annoying. Espicially when I am a new user and think all the ZenPacks supposedly listed as community are not and I do not find that out until I have taken the time to completely build a system to test those.
