Ok, here are the instructions. It turns out to be fairly easy.
Go to your device, select OS, and select one of the serial interfaces
you want to monitor.
Under "type" you should see something other "ethernetCsmacd". Use your
mouse to copy that name. Let's assume the name is "serialInterface".
Now select "Devices" from the left-hand side links.
Select PerfConf. Select the box next to "ethernetCsmacd" and then press
the Copy button at the bottom.
Press the "Paste" button that should now be next to the Copy button.
This makes "copy of ethernetCsmacd". Select that item.
Change the name from "copy of ethernetCsmacd" to your device type. In
this example, you would simply use the mouse to paste in the name you
copied above (my "serialInterface", but using the name you saw for the
interface type).
If some of those data sources are not available (broadcast packets may
not be available on a serial device, for example), you can make
device-specific modifications to this configuration.

Eric,
The interfaces are up, and are shown as up. Should I try your script
anyway?

Hey Matt,
By default, Zenoss will not monitor interfaces that are down when the
device is modeled.
Here's a script that will force all the interfaces to be modeled as up;
Start the zenoss Data Model Database command-line tool:
$ zendmd
Welcome to zenoss dmd command shell!
use zhelp() to list commands
>>> d = find('my-device-name')
>>> for i in d.os.interfaces():
... i.operStatus = 1
... i.adminStatus = 1
...
>>> commit()
Alternatively, you could bring the interfaces up (by using them) and
remodel the device.

Hi,
I have asked about this problem before, but I haven't seemed to be
able
to get to the bottom of this problem. I have some router devices set
up
in Zenoss. All their interfaces seem to be modeled when I add them,
but
I am only getting performance information for Ethernet interfaces--the
serial interfaces show up in the model, but they no RRD files are
created for them, and (naturally) they don't show any performance data
when you select them.
I don't see any errors in the zenperfsnmp log with respect to these
devices, either immediately after they are created or when they are
collected.
Do you have any suggestions on how I can get it to recognize the
serial
interfaces as needing collection? FYI, this is 0.21.1. and the
collection/graphing for the Ethernet interfaces looks fine.
