Hello, I've been having trouble figuring out how to actually get performance data via SSH with zenplugin.py. I installed the plugins according to the non-root instructions from the FAQ [1]. I can run zenplugin.py manually as the zenoss user on the device, and it looks like it's working and reporting data correctly.
After that, I added the device to Zenoss, following the instructions from the Admin Guide [2] and setting the discovery method to "none". The instructions say to set the operating system to Linux, but it's not very clear on where to do that. I've tried setting the device class path to /Server/Linux, and also setting the OS Manufacturer to Linux. Finally, I followed the procedure to configure the device for monitoring via SSH [3], being sure to make the changes as directed. I initially tried setting zCommandPath to "/home/zenoss/bin", which is where zenplugin.py was installed, and then also tried "/home/zenoss/bin/zenplugin.py". With the first setting, I received the error "Command invoked cannot execute, permissions problem or command is not an executable", and with the second, I don't see errors, but it doesn't seem to work correctly either: in the OS tab, the filesystems only show Total Bytes, and the other columns are "unknown"; the interface graphs don't get generated at all; and the performance graphs for CPU and memory information are blank. I'm running Zenoss 1.1.2, installed from the RHEL5 RPMs on a CentOS 5 host. The device I'm attempting to monitor this way is running Debian. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? If you need more information, please let me know. Thank you.
