We are proud to announce the release of Zenoss 2.4. The latest Zenoss version 
was developed in conjunction with our community of more than 40,000 members who 
provided product input, monitoring extensions, patches and beta testing.

Zenoss 2.4 includes the following new features:

 * Set-Up Wizard – Zenoss Core now includes a guided setup to create users 
and to easily add devices to be monitored. The easy-to-use setup will prompt 
Zenoss users for authentication credentials for Windows and Linux/UNIX servers 
as well as community strings for SNMP devices.

 * SSH Monitoring Capabilities – Zenoss users can now securely access Linux 
and Unix servers via secure shell to pull performance metrics and develop 
extensions for deep reporting capabilities of server performance.

 * Improved Reporting – Zenoss now provides the ability to normalize data 
into common units. Users can now add aliases to data points and convert 
performance metrics to measures that are consistent across all devices.

 * Extended Monitoring Guide – A new extended monitoring guide provides 
detailed information on how to gather metrics and outlines best practices for 
managing IT infrastructure with Zenoss Core.  This contains chapters on each 
Core and Enterprise ZenPack.

In addition to the new features, the documentation has all been refreshed and 
substantially updated. For this release, there were over 400 external tickets 
closed, greatly improving the overall stability and reliability of Zenoss Core. 
We would also like to take the opportunity to thank and highlight the 70+ 
community-contributed ZenPacks that are currently available.

Thanks again to everyone who participated in the Zenoss 2.4 “Blue Crab” 
beta program as well!
