Shuckins, thanks for the response. When you say Zenoss will send you alerts that you have conflicting IPs, will this always happen no matter what setup, i.e. if your not doing ping monitoring? (set pingCheck zProperty to false.)
Also, does this mean I am hosed for my idea in my other post. (http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4111). I wanted to add a bunch of virtual HostNames that resolve to the same ip address, but represent the different tomcat roots that I am monitoring. So I would have the following devices, /Servers/SomeBox SomeOtherBox /TomcatRoots/Root0143 Root0231 Root0234 whose host names were the device names and they resolved as follows, SomeBox --> 10.10.10.20 SomeOtherBox --> 10.10.10.41 Root0143 --> 10.10.10.20 Root0231 --> 10.10.10.20 Root0234 --> 10.10.10.41 I wanted to apply the JMX properties to the /TomcatRoots class, and then set the jmxManagementPort zProperty of each subclass, like Root0143 to the jmx port number of that Root. I just seem to be having trouble with getting the jmx management zproperty to actually be used by the datasources. I would hate to have to create different templates and datasources for each tomcat root I am monitoring (there are tons). This would be alot of work and would not be easily automated (for provisioning new tomcat roots / customers). Please let me know if you think there is a decent work around. Or if what I am suggesting is even possible with Zenoss as it stands. Thanks in advance for your help. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=13822#13822 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
