All,
First, let me say I find Zenoss to be a nice merging of functionality for
monitoring resource utilization and organization of systems in the data center.
I've got a question regarding how data is collected about devices. It appears
that currently there is a default set of information that is gathered for each
device as it is added. I would like to be able to extend the information to be
gathered. For example, I would like to add in some hardware elements to
represent my RAID controller channels. Or, I'd like to re-define what SNMP OID
is used for Hard Drives.
Additionally, I've got 'types' of servers like web servers, application
servers, citrix servers, database servers, etc. I'd like to setup a template
of data to gather for each of these types of servers. I've currently got some
additional SNMP OID's being polled based on my performance tab for a particular
path (/Servers/Windows/Database, /Servers/Windows/Citrix,etc.) But this seems
a little odd to me, and I wonder if it might not be better to have the ability
to add a tab to the machine view ('Status', 'OS', 'Hardware', ...) which would
represent some of the attributes about 'Oracle', or 'IIS', or 'Citrix'.
Do the extension points that I am talking about exist, or is there a 'better'
solution to this?
Thanks for the help, and again, this is a very useful tool.
Troy
P.S. Is there any documentation somewhere that explains how to upgrade my
installation?
