Hi All,
I am writing this post because after many weeks of suffering with Zenoss I 
decided to get rid of it at all in our system. This piece of software, and open 
source ones in general, is only for those, who do not have any serious 
responsibility for flawless working of the system supervised by him, but has a 
lot of time to debug, rewrite, and make work some low quality open source code.
Zenoss, even after numerous updates has serious bugs. In our software 
development company we call such bugs "show-stoppers". Just a few of them:

Error in monitoring filesystem status and performance:
 Mount Total bytes Used bytes Free bytes % Util Lock 
 C:\ Label: Serial Number c4bc8d16  39.1GB unknown unknown unknown
 
Inability to monitor and graph performance of a particular process

More than 90% of all browsers in the wild is the Internet Explorer. 
Nevertheless, shifting and zooming praphs works only in Firefox.

Most of information collected about hardware is incorrect or absent (Intel 
processors in HP servers... Nothing unusual.)

Software on Linux systems not listed at all

There is no performance graphs at all on Linux systems 

Inaccurate performance data (pages/sec(wmi) != pages/sec(snmp))

Graph for IIS IO Bytes not generated

Errors on generating some graphs in reports

Who would pay for enterprise edition after such experience?...
As a conclusion I can say that from point of view of TCO Zenoss is the most 
expensive monitoring system I have ever seen.  I wasted weeks of my time to get 
it work as I need, but the result is not suitable. 

Regards,
Bithajcsar
