I was wondering there's a possibility to configure zenoss status-monitor checks
definition manually - according to the membership in a group or as a device
definition or system sub-group.
I'd like to define specific groups (default, apache-frontend, mysql-server,
etc.) with monitored elements from IPServices, OSProcesses and Events. I'm
only able to create group of Services being monitored, but there's no way to
connect these with device group or system membership.
I'll add/discover new linuxbox, move it to the right group/device/system and
everything NEEDED not DISCOVERED is being monitored.
Am I missing something? This is the way nagios2 does it. [Embarassed]
Cruz,
There's a fundamental difference in the the approaches Zenoss and
Nagios take to this. I promise you'll learn to appreciate Zenoss'
approach in short order. Zenoss takes the approach of monitoring
everything it can out of the bag, and you tune it by removing/ignoring
things you don't care about. Where as Nagios makes you define
everything you want to monitor explicitly.
It will seem like Zenoss generates a lot of noise that you don't care
about at first, but you'll probably end up finding problems that you
would have never thought to look for with Nagios.
After all, if you're monitoring a "mysql-server" and it happens to
also be running Apache for something like phpmyadmin (just an
example,) wouldn't it be nice to know that Apache was no longer
running even though you hadn't thought to monitor it?
