This question ties into my other post from a few moments ago.

If for any given device you happen to be collecting and checking on:

- a small handful of specific processes (ie, Processes)
- all partitions, cpus, memory, network interfaces, etc
- network checking the ports (ie, Services)

I'm wondering whether Zenoss does a full snmpwalk each and every time, whether 
it does something very very specific to what is being sought, or whether it's 
somewhere in-between, such as doing checks based on the zCollectorPlugins.

If the latter, then perhaps I need to pare some of this stuff down.  When I 
first set it up, I basically threw just about every zCollectorPlugin available. 
 There could well be a few I could do without.

Here's what I have now:

zenoss.snmp.NewDeviceMap
zenoss.snmp.DeviceMap
zenoss.snmp.InterfaceMap
zenoss.snmp.RouteMap
zenoss.snmp.IpServiceMap
zenoss.snmp.HRFileSystemMap
zenoss.snmp.HRSWRunMap
zenoss.snmp.CpuMap
zenoss.snmp.DellCPUMap
zenoss.snmp.DellDeviceMap
zenoss.snmp.HPCPUMap
zenoss.snmp.HPDeviceMap
DellDeviceMap
HPDeviceMap
DellCPUMap
DellPCIMap
HPCPUMap

So to recap:

1. Is there a way to tell (based on a device which has already been modeled) 
which of the above are in active use?

2. If one of the above can't be used by the target device, does it generate 
unnecessary traffic only when modeling the device, or each and every time it 
polls it?

3. In general, does Zenoss do an efficient job of querying via SNMP, or does it 
do a lot of repetitive reconnects during a single monitoring pass?

I think that's it.  If there are any other performance/architecture concerns I 
should be paying attention to, let me know.
