Hi everyone, this is my first post here. I've recently installed the Zenoss Virtual Appliance for VMware. The install was very easy, thankfully, since I'm not really much good with Linux. It's working very well, and I am monitoring a number of Windows servers using SNMP. However, I am having to touch each box as I install SNMP, as the Windows CD is required when you install it. Of course this is a hassle. I would like to use WMI instead, which seems to be enabled by default on most of the servers on my network. I'd like to discover devices using WMI, but I can't seem to make it work. I saw a post which said that the newest version (1.9.something?) is easier to use with WMI, but I have 1.1.2, which is what comes with the virtual appliance.
So, my question is, can I upgrade the virtual appliance to the newest version? Or, is there an easy way to get WMI monitoring working on my current installation? Please keep in mind that I am a Linux newbie, so if you want me to use the command line, please tell me in detail what to do. Be gentle! Thanks. ------------------------ Mike Crampton -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=6882#6882 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
