Erik,

Ok, I went to the following link: http://192.168.204.29:8080/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Linux/32-bit/devices/www3/zPropertyEdit

Then i scrolled down to zSnmpVer and emptied out that field.  Then hit Save.

I was expecting it to be populated with the v2c from the parent zSnmpVer field set at this link: http://192.168.204.29:8080/zport/dmd/Devices/zPropertyEdit

It wasn't. It was still blank. I thought maybe it needed to have the collection collected using the Manage tab. Still no luck.

I went so far as stopping all of Zenoss then starting it back up and checking that page again. It's still blank.
Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks,

-Daniel

Daniel,

In stead of changing it on the device you need to delete its local zProperty. This will allow the higher level one to set the value. I think the problem is the local property overriding the one higher up. You can delete the property at the bottom of the zProperties page.

Erik,

Not sure what you mean by bad device. Do you mean the devices that are complaining about bad OIDs? The only time i get bad OID messages (after i researched some more) is when i move a device from one Monitor to my new custom one. When that occurs, the zSnmpVer field gets reset to v1 and that is when the bad OIDs start. Other than that, i still get the same problem Rob is having. I go to a Class, set the zProperties' zSnmpVer to v2c and i still have to manually go to each device beneath that Class and change the zSnmpVer to v2c.

Thanks,

Hum,

Can you look on a bad device and see if the version has been defined _just_ for that device? I wonder if the modeler is messing this up. Shouldn't be.

Rob,

I had the same problem and i couldnt find a solution. Actually, to make things worse, sometimes after i make the change, it periodically reverts itself back to v1 and i cant find out why just yet.

I originally thought it was reverting certain devices back to v1 after i did an ./zenperfsnmp run -v10 -d <device_name>. But i cant duplicate it. I basically do my normal tinkering and anytime i get alot of "BAD OID" events/messages in the zenperfsnmp.log file i check the zSnmpVer and sure enough, its set back to v1. Very frustrating.

I think i am going to send a separate email to the zenoss dev mailing list asking as a feature request to be able to toggle the Snmp Version at the "Add Device" phase.

Does anyone know where the default setting is for the zSnmpVer field? If i could set the default zSnmpVer to v2c, i would be in business.

Before anyone says it, the very first step i did was click on Devices/zProperties, went down to the zSnmpVer field and set that to v2c a long time ago, so that cant be where the "default" setting is. I know this because if i add a device, it always adds it with v1 and i have to go in afterwards and change it to v2c every time.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I'm hoping my logic is correct, but if someone could verify Zenoss' behavior for the following, I'd really appreciate it.

I was under the impression that if I changed any of the zProperties for a certain class, in this case, /Device/Network/Router, the changes would apply for all devices within the class.

The parameter I am having issues with is zSnmpVer. Under the class router, I changed it to v2. The path for this parameter is listed as /Network/Router. However, when I go to the zProperties tab of a newly discovered device of class Router, the zSnmpVer value is back to the default of v1. It does show a new path of /Network/Router/devices/<device_name>. The new path does not really surprise me, but I thought it would use what I defined at the Router class level.

Am I correct in my expectations? I modified the zCollectorCollectPlugins parameter to exclude the RouteMap plugin and it propagated to all devices discovered with that class.

Thanks everyone for their feedback.

Regards,
Rob-
