Now that my upgrade woes are over and everything is running like a top (and I have learned a few things to do when they are not) it is time to move forward with the task at hand...monitoring our network. To this end I have a few questions:
Some of the machines I want to keep an eye on are Exchange 2003 servers. Queue lengths, messages sent / received, etc... would be nice things to see and alert on. I understand that to do this (at least with the core version of Zenoss) one must use a 3rd party tool such as SNMP Informant. They have both an SNMP Application pack and WMI agent for Exchange. Does anybody have any experience with these and which one might be the best to use in Zenoss? Ditto for the SNMP Informant tools for SQL server. Should I look somewhere else for this data? I love the new Google maps display of our network. Unfortunately due to the way it works (I think) it will not display our links at all. Our network is set up so that we have routers connecting out to remote sites mostly over T1's. Each of these sites has their own subnet. I think that this is why, while the colored dots show up just fine, there are no links between them (since, outside of the routers, the networks do not span locations). Is there a way around this? It seems that Zenoss would know this since there are interfaces on the routers which share a common subnet with the remote sites. Also, the "Network Map" is able to draw correctly, so the link between networks has been established with Zenoss.
