on its own, that only solves half the problem - putting those entries into your snmpd.conf file allow snmp to expose the data so it can be used by zenoss.
for that data to be visible on the performance charts, you will need to add a datasource for each logmatch entry, and then have a template with a graph that then actually plots the matching datapoint.
you'll likely find lots of info about creating / editing templates, graphs and datapoints if you look about (either on these forums or google) - some of my earlier posts in a discussion about setting up charts for mailscanner may prove useful to crib from, as the solution follows a similar pattern in as much as it's working with user-added logmatch data.
you can find that thread here:- http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=35447(as per the example given for working with mailscanner, by default, your variables will be exposed from 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.16.2.1.5.1 onwards)
you can then simply create a threshold (>0) on that datapoint in the template if you wish to create an alert to be visible on the dashboard.
(there may be other ways of using that datapoint to trigger things, such as events? but i don't have any experience/knowledge of that - but the above will most certainly work, resulting in both a visual chart and alerts on the dashboard :)
hope this helps Jim
