I have several servers with aliased IP addresses for DNS, Sendmail, etc. This allows the services to be moved to other servers if needed for capacity without DNS record changes.
During discovery, these host IP addresses were picked up as if they were full hosts. While I'd argue that ZenOSS should have been able to figure this out given the common MAC addr, this is tolerable behavior. For these virtual IP address, I un-bound the Linux device template, and bound appropriate templates (DigMonitor), or added specific IP Service monitors. I also deleted all of the profiled information on the OS tab, as I don't want multiple alerts when the primary host has a disk space issue for example. Unfortunately every night this information magically re-appears. I even tried locking each item from updates, but this setting is blatantly ignored, or so it seems. An additional annoyance is that Apache is detected under OS Processes as "/usr/sbin/httpd" and "httpd". The latter is always in an error status, and this annoyance is preventing me from going into production with ZenOSS. Can someone explain how to disable this auto-remodeling of the devices. Any ideas why the second erroneous httpd process appears?
