Well, SNMP Community *is* the term for SNMP monitoring for your
"password", at least in v1 and v2c. You might want to also look for docs
on SNMP in general on the web, Zenoss pretty much expects you to have
some knowledge of SNMP.
As to Device Name, I think that's in the online docs, but I may have
gotten it early from the forums as well...

I've been able to get several devices added. Once i figured out that "SNMP Community" is what i was referring to as the "password" in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf and that "Device Name" is the IP or FQDN.
Not thrilled with the documentation so far. I think im going to have to buy the
book to really understand this monitoring system.

Yes, I have been searching the mailing list/forum archive. I just need a little
helping hand getting going. Trying to optimize my effort.
I have setup Zenoss, 2.2.4 on a Debian box, outside of my network. I have managed to get logged, change the password, created additional users, and add my locations so far. I am not interested in auto discovery.
I want to monitor several services as well as hardware statistics on servers at the corp offices. I've downloaded the Zenpacks I need for that. Installing them next.
I want to monitor a few different services on the linux servers at each job
site as well the verify the VPN tunnel to the corp network is connected. My VPN
appliances (WatchGuard) does not do snmp, just syslog apparently.
I really wish the default install of Zenoss came with some bogus config data.
Make it a lot easier to get going with some examples.
Currently I am using Nagios but I am also looking at OpenNMS, Hyperic, and
Groundwork. I'm leaning towards Zenoss due to the Google Maps interface.
Specifically because it is an easy to understand interface for the Senior VP,
Pres/CEO to use.
Any advise for someone new?
