So I dug deeper into the docs today to see what I could do for adding some 
basic port monitoring (eg, Oracle's listener on tcp 1521 and sshd on 22).

Reference:

http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-guide/2.1.1/ch11s02.html

This page is a wee bit sparse, but I think I've managed to extrapolate the 
intent.  :)

After rooting around, I discovered that ports 1521 and 22 have already been 
defined deeper down.  But there are a handful of custom services on 
non-standard ports that I've added as well.  I put those under:

/Services/IpService/MyStuff

just to keep it separate from everything else.  For now, anyway.

Shortly after creating the new checks, I half-expected (per the docs) to see 
those start to populate with devices being monitored.

No such luck, so I completely restarted Zenoss.

It's been at least a couple hours now, and still nothing.

As for the port 1521 stuff, that's there of course.  It had a different 
definition so I renamed it to something more meaningful.  But at least it had 
the appropriate devices listed under it.

As for the port 22 stuff, still nothing.  Which is odd, because that's been 
around since the first system I started monitoring.

And yes, I've flipped the Monitor option on all the above from False to True.  
Hours ago.

I went into one of the devices, clicked on OS, then under IP Services clicked 
Add IpService, set it to TCP, started typing 'ssh' which of course 
auto-completed, clicked on that, then saw it had been added to that host.  I 
drilled into it and clicked on the Service Class (per the docs) and found that 
only the host I'd just added plus one other host (the very first host in Zenoss 
that I started monitoring, aside from the Zenoss server itself).

So what am I missing here?  How do I get Zenoss to wake up and actually check 
devices for services which I'm basically saying "Yes, I want these ports 
monitored" on?

The docs seem to imply this is automatic.  You define the service you're 
interested in, and voom, Zenoss does the rest.

Where have I mis-stepped?
