Hi Brendan,

You cannot manually add services that were not discovered (yet).

You can add http checks using the nagios plugin check_http.

Edit the PerfConf for your device, add a new Data Source. Change the Source Type to a COMMAND.

Read up on how you run $ZENHOME/libexec/check_http from the command line. When you are happy with it, put the command in the COMMAND section of the Data Source. Add a Data Point called "time".

For example, you might add this:

   check_http -H ${dev/getManageIp} -p 8080

Be sure the zCommandPath zProperty points to where check_http lives, or use a full path to it in your command.

Gareth,

In the next version there is a filter in the display that will only show services (and other things) that you are currently monitoring. This kind of solves the problem because you can discover all services and just ignore the ones that aren't important... also in 1.2 we plan to add manual entry of things like services so that you can go to a box and specifically say that 3306 should be monitored even if it wasn't discovered for some wacky reason.

We might also put another filter on what gets discovered. Do you think it would be necessary with the features above?

Hi,

I found initially that most of my services weren't being monitored (!) until I discovered zIpServiceMapMaxPort, which I guess is fair enough. However, I find that a number of applications such as bind, openvpn (and zenoss) open a selection of UDP ports which means setting zIpServiceMapMaxPort to say 9000, lists lots of "unwanted" services.

So I seem to face a choice, either I don't monitor services such as jabber, http-alt and mysql, or, I have lots of "random" services listed as a result of random listeners set up by certain applications. (!)

Is there any way of say leaving the value at 1024, but then specifically listing higher ports such as 3306 ? (please don't say "reconfigure all your other services to use higher ports" .. many services across 12+ systems is non-trivial)

[I'm using a standard Ubuntu 6.10 install with a custom/DLZ version of bind]

Gareth.
