this is a very excellent start! but I have one question that I need to clarify with this, because it's not explained very well.
Using the remote monitor on a remote server, can that monitor on that server monitor ANOTHER device on that remote LAN instead of the device it itself is installed on? by this I mean, consider a WAN implementation, where the central server is at the central office, and you want to see graphs and portals for every one of the branch offices. you want to run the remote monitor in the branch location on servers there, to monitor the LAN devices in those remote branches, such as servers, and switches, and other devices. in many cases, the remote monitor can't be installed on the devices you want to monitor - there's no way to install on a cisco switch for example. so the thread, discussions and documentation don't talk about this very much, the most I can see is something referring to "SSH" but that can't work, again because most of this equipment can't run SSH or run zenoss. the appliance needs to run it and monitor other equipment. again, sorry this is so excessive in my explanation, but the documentation is extremely vague on this particular item. can it be done with zenoss core? or does the remote monitor actually have to run on the device to be monitored? (that would be bad) thanks! ------------------------ Dan Gahlinger -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=10826#10826 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
