I also need to monitor a good number of Windows desktops. All they are switched off during the night.
It's not about the ping alerts which I can easily supress, but about the fact that even when Zenoss sees these devices are down, it tries without stopping to establish a WMI connection there and to poll the SNMP agents. My zenwin.log and zenevent.log are full of "WMIFailure: NT_STATUS_HOST_UNREACHABLE" messages coming every couple of seconds. I have thresholds of zenwin, zeneventlog and zenperfsnmp cycle times exceeded. In case of exceeded filesystem size tresholds, alerts are periodically cleared and appearing again as long as devices are switched off and back on. I wanted to manipulate dinamically the zSnmpMonitorIgnore and zWmiMonitorIgnore properties (e.g. from an event transform - http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?t=9354), but up to now have not succeeded in doing that. I'd like to have full-blown monitoring of these machines, but at the same time I want to overcome somehow the above problems. Could anybody share his experience, or advice on the matter? Thank you in advance. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=33339#33339 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
