Ok, after tackling the install, quick start guide, admin guide - I
can say this -
this thing is great ...BUT it has some major problems too.
Here are some of my thoughts on it:
Interface - nice, slick, convenient, easy to grasp and understand
once you get a hang of it, BUT when i am located in the /devices
view, after I change the class of a node why does it have to refresh
the page to the class that i just assigned to the node? whats with
that? each time, i have to go back to the /devices view, select the
next node to move and go through the whole navigation once more.. it
just a wast of time and clicks
Auto-discovery - well, this is obviously a nice feature... BUT It
could give a bit more feedback! I just let it loose on a network..
and it gave me a lot of verbose info. all needed to know...one could
expect to see a final message something like " XXX devices found and
allocated to the /Discovered class" and with all of it clickable -
now that would be something useful.
There are a few more inconsistencies that I found like the
connections between IP addresses, Networks, and Devices but its too
long to write, if anybody is interested, drop me an PM.
Now the real problem is the following:
I have cacti setup to monitor my servers right now and its doing a
pretty good job of it (and only it - thats why i'm looking for
something else) gathering the info and showing it to me. In zenoss
couldn't show the same information as cacti did. For example, its
not showing me the disk usage as in cacti for the mounted partitions
(i tried to add the df plugin in manage plugins for the host, tried
to add the partition in the OS tab, nothing) of course i checked the
snmp settings and made sure that they were the same. plain old
snmpwalk shows the disks just fine, zenoss is having trouble with it.
another example - free memory. cacti shows me: Memory Free, Memory
Buffers and Cache Memory, zenoss - memAvailReal.
While zenoss is going on to become the leader, it still looks like
it has some functionality issues...
p.s. all above is imho, so don't stone me =)
