Hi - We are auditing ourselves -- checking our zenoss config to confirm that the proper configuration is setup and running against a list of known hosts/services. Ultimately, we would love to log the output of certain checks so we can determine that:
A) yes, zenoss is testing a host for service X B) service X has returned OK in the last X amount of time (perhaps a day - it's just an audit that we are taking advantage of zenoss properly) C) host is in production state With custom event commands you can log the results during a check that returns a non-ok status -- but what about successful checks? In Nagios you write a wrapper script to capture the output of the check, like so: http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=379 Is that the only way and/or the preferred way of doing this in Zenoss? We have tried pulling data out of the object store re: successful checks with zendmd, but, as I would imagine, it does not seem to store successful history (why would it?) -- unless we wanted to graph some data and just pull data from the rrds. Anyone have any experience doing something like this and is there a best practice here? Thanks for any and all feedback. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=28934#28934 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
