Hi...please forgive in advance a possibly unforgiveably newbie question. I've been looking at ZenOSS as a possible solution to a number of problems here and as a nicely modular offering to fit into where I'd like to head our network monitoring and event presentation architecture.
What I've not found anywhere laid out, at least that my eyes have caught, is a statement of what systems are supported for hosting ZenOSS itself, being the daemon processes and manager utilities. What I'd *think* is that it would run anywhere that Zope and MySQL can run and that a Python interpreter and runtime of sufficiently modern rev level can be accessed. That may be naive when things like install scripts are taken into account. To cut to the chase, we have a unique requirement to host our monitoring collection points on Solaris--both Sparc and Intel (in addition to RHEL and FreeBSD). They meet all of the above criteria, but I've not run across anything in the archive for the users' list that says somebody is running on Solaris--only Linux and FreeBSD to date. The fact that folks speak of needing to run using VMWare makes me even more convinced there's more to ZenOSS hosting than Zope, Python, and MySQL. Is this merely a testing issue? Has anybody done this already (Solaris) and I just haven't run across it? If somehow my original instinct is correct that the support matrix should be as unlimited as Python's, let me go for the daily double--how hard would it be (I'm a developer of pretty extensive experience, although only cursory with Python--to date) to abstract the DBMS access layer so that somthing other than MySQL could be supported? Not knowing now Zeo or other data abstractions work internally, I have no instinctual clue on that one. Thanks for bearing with my naivete!
