If you only want to do performance monitoring you can do pretty much everything by writing a Nagios Plugin: http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-guide/2.2.4/ch13.html http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/howtos/create-modify-nagios-templates http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=27479 Nagios Plugins tend to take more CPU cycles and have less functionality then a full blown ZenPack with a custom modeler and datasource definition. But they are easy to write and in most cases they solve all the needs you have. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=28265#28265 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
