This is really mainly an SNMP issue but I'm wondering whether Zenoss offers
features that might enable me to work round the problem!
I've got multiple application instances on a host. Each of the instances has
the same OID/MIB file.
Now the problem I have is - if a trap is sent from one app instance on that
host, how can Zenoss identify which instance it came from? I could use SNMPv3
with contexts but I can't figure how to get these to work with Zenoss (well
actually struggling to figure how to get them to work just from an SNMP point
of view to be honest!).
The other option is just to define multiple devices in Zenoss, one for each app
instance. But this is pretty messy, and I guess there'd be a whole lot of
duplicate system etc. monitoring going on too.
Has anyone had a similar situation and managed to come up with a nice solution?
Rob,
Can you set a different SNMP community string for each instance? You
could then use the incoming community string in event class mappings
to separate the events however you wanted.
