I am still getting this error in the latest Zenoss source (updated
from trunk). Well, almost: the line number has changed:
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: mismatched tag: line 24, column 10
Okay, I had a chance to look at this some more:
The first argument in the loadDevice() signature is an unnamed
parameter, 'deviceName'. Therefore, if a dict (hash, named array,
whatever your language calls it) is passed as the first parameter,
that data structure is dumped into the 'deviceName' variable in the
loadDevice() method.
However, if you use extended call syntax and instead attempt
something like the following:
>>> from xmlrpclib import ServerProxy
>>> serv = ServerProxy('http://admin:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080/zport/dmd')
>>> dev = {'deviceName':'127.0.0.1', 'devicePath':'/Server/Linux',
'discoverProto': 'none'}
>>> serv.DeviceLoader.loadDevice(**dev)
loadDevice() never actually gets called because this errs out. I'm
not really sure why, except that is looks like the ZPublisher may be
misapplying the __call__() method to one of its methods instead of
the proxied object.
So, while the following (for events) is correct:
>>> evt = {'device':'mydevice', 'component':'eth0', 'summary':'eth0
is down','severity':4, 'eclass':'/Net'}
>>> serv.ZenEventManager.sendEvent(evt)
one cannot use the same technique (passing a dict) for adding a
device. It seems to be broken. For now, you must actually do the
following for adding a device via XML-RPC:
>>> serv.DeviceLoader.loadDevice('127.0.0.1', '/Server/Linux', '',
'', '', 161, 'v1', 0, 1000, '', '', '', '', '', '', [], [],
['localhost'], 'localhost', 'snmp')
By not using named parameters, all parameters are treated
positionally. You must pass these in order, though. For reference,
here they are:
deviceName,
devicePath="/Discovered",
tag="", serialNumber="",
zSnmpCommunity="", zSnmpPort=161, zSnmpVer="v1",
rackSlot=0, productionState=1000, comments="",
hwManufacturer="", hwProductName="",
osManufacturer="", osProductName="",
locationPath="", groupPaths=[], systemPaths=[],
statusMonitors=["localhost"],
performanceMonitor="localhost",
discoverProto="snmp"
The only Zenoss XML-RPC method I have ever personally used is
sendEvent(), so I'm not sure if the others were working at some point
and are broken now, or were never tested.
I have opened a ticket for this and you may track it here:
