I'm still on the lookout for a good SNMP tutorial to refer people to
(anyone like this one? http://www.et.put.poznan.pl/snmp/intro/indexint.html)
, but we have a new Getting Started with Zenoss guide you should find
handy:

Thanks,

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.

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?
