Ian,
You can but you're going to have to do some work.
You're going to need to write some DataCollector modeling plugins
that will populate the Zenoss model with information about your
device (e.g. what network interfaces it has, it's routes, it's ip
services, processes, what hardware it has). The scope of how much
information you need can be as small or as large as you want.
The next thing you'll need to do is to write some performance
collector plugins (aka Zenoss Plugins). These are programs that
Zenoss can run remotely (over SSH or telnet) or locally that are
responsible for retrieving performance information about your
device. Some of these collectors will be based on the model
information (e.g. interface statistics or disk utilization statistics).
If you're looking for a quick way to get started forego the modeling
plugins and jump ahead to the performance collector plugins. Create
your plugins and set up a performance template at some particular
Device Class level. Hard code the passing of arguments to your
performance collector and let your collector deal with it (e.g. run
myPerformanceCollector.sh eth0), rather than having Zenoss pass the
argument by determining it from the model.
I've done this with my TiVO. It's quite cool.
A good HOWTO on this is coming... And yes, it will be based on a
TiVO. :)
PS -
What kind of device are you monitoring?

Is there a way I can monitor a device, such as a camera, that isn't
running SNMP? For security reasons, I can't ping the device either,
but I can access the Web and FTP server on the camera.
