1. Navigate to Devices/Ping/Templates/Device. 2. Edit the Description to suit, e.g. "Uses Nagios check_ping plugin to monitor an IP device", and click Save. 3. From the Data Sources drop down select "Add DataSource...". 4. Enter a name for the data source, e.g. "ipcheck", and set the type to "COMMAND". 5. Set the Component, Event Class, Event Key, Severity and Cycle Time fields as required. 6. Enter the following into the Command field: "check_ping -H $devname -w 180,100% -c 300,100% | sed -e 's# - Packet loss#|loss#;s#%,##;s#ms##;s# = #=#g'", note spaces are critical, but drop the outer quotes. 7. Click Save. 8. From the DataPoints drop down select "Add DataPoint...". 9. Add a data point for the round trip averages, e.g. "RTA". 10. Click Save, and from the breadcrumb trail at the top go back to the DataSource, e.g. "ipcheck". 11. Add another data point for the packet loss, e.g. "Loss". 12. Click Save, and from the breadcrumb trail at the top go back to the DataSource, e.g. "ipcheck". 13. From the breadcrumb trail at the top, go back one level to the template "Device". 14. From the Thresholds drop down select "Add Threshold...". 15. Enter a name for the threshold, e.g. RTA Limit. 16. Select the data source for the threshold, e.g. "ipcheck_RTA". 17. Set Event Class, Severity, Escalate Count as required, then click Save. 18. From the breadcrumb trail at the top, go back one level to the template "Device". 19. From the Graph Definitions drop down select "Add Graph...". 20. Enter a name for the graph, e.g. "RTA". 21. From the Graph Points drop down, select "Add DataPoint...". 22. Select the correct data point, e.g. "ipcheck_RTA", and click OK. 23. Edit the Units field to read "mS", and click Save. 24. From the breadcrumb trail at the top, go back one level to the template "Device". 25. Repeat 19 - 24 for the Loss graph, setting the Units field to "Counts". The template should now be set up, add a device with the "Ping" Device Class Path, setting the Discovery Protocol to None. Wait a while (5 mins or so depending on the Cycle Time you specified) and then select the Perf tab for the new device and you should see some graphs. Notes. 1. The parameters to the checkPing command may need to be adjusted for your requirements. Use check_ping --help to find out more. 2. For some reason, on my system (Ubuntu 7.04, zenoss installed from a tarball), the default zproperty "zCommandPath" was set to "opt/zenoss/libexec", where it really needed to be "/usr/local/zenoss/libexec". This may be a bug in the build, I'm not sure. I fixed this by changing the zProperty at the top level "Device" template. -- Regards, Graham Bloice
