My manager wants to know which circumstances will generate an event with severity=Warning, which events will generate a severity=Error and which events will generate a severity=Critical for all items monitored by Zenoss.
I thought I would answer this with a custom report. I am not sure about the report query terms. I've reviewed the reports that come with Zenoss. If an existing report would solve this, I'd rather build upon that than start from a blank state. If there's a better way to "frame the question," I'm all ears. Has anyone done something like this before? My Zenoss install has device classes like the following: /Device/Network /Device/Server/Linux /Device/Server/Solaris /Device/Server/Windows /Device/Storage/NetApp /Device/Storage/EMC I believe I would need to build a custom report that will show all thresholds on all templates grouped by Device Class, and with specific Device exceptions For example, /Devices /Server /Templates /FileSystem has a Free Space 90 Percent threshold that throws a severity=Warning event of event class /Perf/Filesystem when here.totalBlocks * .9 is met. I would like to show this Free Space 90 Percent threshold as the default for the /Device/Server device class, and then break out as exceptions the two machines that have a different threshold defined: Free Space 80 Percent and/or different severity levels attached to the unique threshold. I picture the output as three columns: Device Class || Threshold name || Severity /Devices/Server/Templates/FileSystem||Free Space 90 Percent||Warning /Devices/Server/Solaris/Host1/Templates/FileSystem||Free Space 80 Percent||Warning /Devices/Server/Solaris/Host2/Templates/FileSystem||Free Space 80 Percent||Critical I've built a custom report before. I'm running Zenoss Enterprise 2.1.3 I've reviewed the Appendix B. Event Database Dictionary terms at http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-guide/2.1.1/apbs01.html Any suggestions on how to implement this would be most welcome.
