this strikes me as a bug....but what do i know. zenoss 2.2.0, centos 5.1. since i'm still learning the software, i figured 'hey, why don't i monitor sendmail on the mta farm we have?'. great idea. create 'sendmail' on the /processes page. remodel one of the mta servers, it picks up a boatload of sendmail processes. lovely! oops - it seems it interprets each instance uniquely - so
sendmail: qdir.0/m5A8CCYj020927 live.net.: user open is picked up - then when that instance dies off (because the mail's been delivered), i start getting alerts. oh noes! so, smart guy goes to the /processes page, and deletes sendmail there, and remodels the mta server. no more sendmail processes on the device OS page. that should do it, right? nope. i keep getting alerts. wtf? i poke and prod, i remodel, i restart zenoss, but can't seem to stop the alerts. finally, this morning, it dawns on me. recreate 'sendmail' under /processes. remodel the mta server. the device shows a bunch of sendmail processes again. okay. delete all those processes on the OS tab, then go to the /processes page, and *then* delete sendmail there. the alerts stop. this *seems* like a bug to me. continuing to get alerts for processes being down, when they don't show up on the OS process list for the device. it's kind of like something stays in place in the code, but hidden from view. am i right, or is that desired behavior? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=21161#21161 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
