Well, first, CENTOS5 for the ZenOSS server might be a pain as it defaults IIRC to Python 2.5, which just doesn't work for the framework ZenOSS uses.

Your best bet is to use CentOS4 if possible as then it will "just work". This just for the ZenOSS server. The Important thing is Python 2.4.

Then you need the provided ZenOSS - deps rpms, ZenOSS rpm, and IME with EL4, net-snmp + net-snmp utils from the base package.

ZenOSS installs ZOPE for it's own webserver @ port 8080.

The Client servers will need SNMP configured properly. If you're firewalled off SNMP from the internet, then rocommunity public is easiest.

For Linux servers, you may also want the SSH tools available (I don't have any experience with those). For Windows, you'll want SNMP Informant, and a Domain Admin account for WMI access.

I have no idea regarding Ensim Pro however.

Thank you for the quick reply.  I figured Zenoss would fit the bill by its promotion as 
"enterprise level."  Thank you for confirming my suspicions.

I'm sorry for doing this, as I don't mean to be lazy, but I've just been so busy trying 
to juggle 100 different things for this server deployment and site migration project.  We 
will be using CentOS 5 (x86_64) for all of the servers, and the web/email 
("client") servers will be running Ensim Pro 10.3 web hosting control panel 
software.

Could someone please tell me the following?
        What packages need to be installed on the central monitoring server?

        What packages need to be installed on the "client" servers?

        Does Zenoss reconfigure any services like httpd, sendmail, etc. when it's 
installed?  (Some of those services are "ensimized," and any re-configuration 
could break the services.)  So, basically, what I'm asking is does anyone know if Zenoss 
is compatible with the Ensim Pro control panel software?

        We used the server profile when installing CentOS.  Will this have the 
dependencies we need for Zenoss installation/setup?


Thanks again for the quick reply.  I really appreciate the assistance.
