Similar kind of problem (= event log full with "License successfully acquired" message) different solution: The Zenoss guides should do a better job in explaining things like event transformation. Things like event transformation are a wonderful thing, because they can help you doing stuff automaticly. But configuring them is a daunting task because all the Admin guide has say about them are explanations like: Enter a python expression to match to the event. This expression will be evaluated with the variable name âevtâ bound to the current event. A detailed list of fields can be found in the Event Database Dictionary Appendix of the Admin Guide. Which sound nice at first place till you find out that the Appendix is totally outdated and is giving no examples at all (=say goodbye to documentation, say hello to zendmd and Python dir() introspection). This could be easily be fixed by updating the Admin Guide. But it could be worth a thought if it would make sense to split the current Admin / Developer Guide into an User / Admin / Developer Guide. The User Guide could focus on things like handling the Web Gui. While the Admin Guide could focus more strongly on topics like debugging, backup & restore, zendmd, Thales expressions, event transformations which have little importance in the current Admin Guide. Making the life easier for both for end users (who love screenshots) and admins (who love code they can modify). -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=21659#21659 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
