Hi, I'm currently working on deploying zenoss myself, so take what I have to say with a grain of salt.
As far as I can tell, yes, you will have to setup traps for any sort of quick up/down notifications. Zenoss occasionally "remodels" devices, but so far I haven't been able to learn how often that actually happens - I have seen anywhere from every 1 hour to every 8 hours, but so far have been to lazy to dig through the code to see how often it actually does take place. I have also seen reports that zenoss will often not remodel cisco devices at all unless zenmodeler is run with the --force option, due to a bug in either cisco's code or zenoss's code, depending on who you're listening to. I have also seen this first hand - weeks after major interface changes had been made, zenoss was still reporting old interfaces that no longer existed on the device as up/up and green all 'round. Bottom line, setup traps. I found it to be an enormous PITA (though I am not a MIB master by any means) but now I do get very prompt notification when ports on my routers are down. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=15309#15309 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
