Sorry if this is a duplicate message -- I tried posting to the list, but it never came thru, so I am going to try posting via the forums.

I am in the process of setting up ZenOSS to monitor several AIX 5.3 based servers. I have been very successful thus far – I am now pulling drive information, Ethernet stats, route information, etc. I am now trying to automatically populate the “Serial #” and “HW Model” fields on the “Status” page for every device. I have created a script on the host that will supply the serial number, and using an “exec” function in snmpd.conf to pipe the output to an OID:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] snmpwalk -v 1 -c public fc-tpca -On UCD-SNMP- MIB::extOutput.1
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1 = STRING: 10-47S2D

The serial number is returned..

I am also doing the same for the HW Model..

My question is – how can I have ZenOSS automatically populate the Serial # and HW Model fields with data returned from these OID’s? Do I need to create a custom modeler? Whats the best way to accomplish this?

Grab the DellMonitor ZenPack. It contains a file under modeler/plugins called DellDeviceMap.py that illustrates exactly how to do this._______________________________________________
