Great thanks! I'll have a try this morning. Ian

Ian, I had some trouble making this work myself. Here are the steps I needed to take. Please stop all Zenoss processes on B before starting. 1. Create DNS CNAMEs for all of you Zenoss hosts so cookies can be shared. Host A: zenoss.yourdomain.com Host B: B.zenoss.yourdomain.com 2. Allow B to access the MySQL server on A. mysql> grant all privileges on events.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by 'password'; 3. Point B to the correct database server. On A's web interface go to Event Manager and change the database hostname to zenoss.yourdomain.com instead of localhost. 4. Configure B's zenperfsnmp.conf and zenxevent.conf properly. monitor B.zenoss.yourdomain.com host zenoss.yourdomain.com 5. Create the performance monitor for B. On A's web interface create a performance monitor named B.zenoss.yourdomain.com. Change the RenderUrl to http://B.yourdomain.com:8080/zport/RenderServer Set the Render User/Password to a Zenoss user with the admin role. 6. Modify the CookieAuthHelper.py to play nicely with Firefox's draconian cookie support. Edit $ZENHOME/Products/PluggableAuthService/plugins/CookieAuthHelper.py Search for the only line containing "setCookie" and change it to the following: response.setCookie(self.cookie_name, quote(cookie_val), path='/', domain='zenoss.yourdomain.com') 7. Have Zope on B use the ZODB server on A: Edit $ZENHOME/etc/zope.conf on B: Search for the zeoclient section and change the server to zenoss.yourdomain.com 8. Modify the Zenoss startup on B to exclude unneeded services. Edit $ZENHOME/bin/zenoss Comment out the following lines: #C="$C zeoctl" #C="$C zenmodeler" #C="$C zenperfxmlrpc" #C="$C zenprocess" #C="$C zenping" #C="$C zensyslog" #C="$C zenstatus" #C="$C zenactions" #C="$C zentrap" #C="$C zencommand" This leaves only zopectl, zenxevent and zenperfsnmp enabled. 9. Start Zenoss on B: zenoss start That should be it if I remember correctly. You'll notice that this still creates the RRD files on B, but through the magic of a shared zodb, a cookie and the RenderUrl the web interface on A can actually show the appropriate graphs from B. The RenderUser/Password stuff is for XMLRPC and only used for the sysUpTime display currently. I hope this helps. It should probably be in the Wiki at the least. -- Chet Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
