One other thing that would be nice is some better way of handling transient downs. I have played with count, and delays, but still get daily random TESTPC SNMP is down, and one minute later TESTPC SNMP is up... It seems that occasionally CPU load will cause the SNMP agent to not respond to one query, but then to be back up for the next.

Now, I'm not saying that we should make it impossible for Zenoss to detect that a server has a flaky SNMP response, but it should also be possible to clearly *tune* what we consider a flaky response for a server. I had hoped that setting it to 2 or 5 in count would limit alerts, but it doesn't seem to work for me, unless Zenoss is by default polling multiple times a minute. I'm almost sure some of this is documentation (I'm not building my alerting rules correctly)...

My apologies for the tone   [Embarassed]
but I would love one software package that under promises and over delivers. The concept of Zenoss is awesome, and the implementation could be beautiful. but........

No worries we have thick skin. :) We have heard loud and clear that the next release needs to focus on stability, especially WMI, and that is the focus.
