The ability to model and monitor everything remotely with SSH is in Blue Crab, but there's not a whole lot of ZenPacks written to exploit this yet. There is a basic LinuxMonitor ZenPack in Core that provides examples for modeling of a device and getting those modeled components monitored. Unlike SNMP, there is not a whole lot of standardization about how and what to monitor. To this end we've written documentation for writing custom SSH-based ZenPacks so we can build up a wide variety of community-based solutions.
How to Create an SSH ZenPack: http://community.zenoss.org/trac-zenpacks/wiki/SshZenpack How To Add a Test to an SSH Monitoring Zenpack: http://community.zenoss.org/trac-zenpacks/wiki/HowToAddSshTest Hopefully once the ball starts rolling on these we'll have users contributing things like Linux distro-specific solutions, the BSDs, commercial Unixes and anything else that may be accessible via SSH.
