Hello, I just started working at a company that's been using Zenoss for years. Since I'll be using Zenoss for my network monitoring solution I've been digging through the admin guide, forums, FAQs, and How Tos to get a feel for how Zenoss works. I've gone to co-workers and have gotten a view from 10,000 feet for what the program does and now I want to know how to make it work for me. Unfortunately all the documentation seems to be aimed at a new user who is installing for the first time.
I'm looking for something that shows me how to use a Zenoss install that is already in place. Specifically, I want to know how to have Zenoss send email messages when Events are triggered, how to keep the Event Console clear, and how to look at historical information on Events. To clarify ... I know how to acknowledge Events, but when I do, it stops incrementing them and generates a brand new Event the next time the same device triggers that event. This seems to defeat the purpose of having the incremental counter, so I figure I must be doing something wrong. I figure there must be a way for a duplicate Event to un-acknowledge an existing Event. Then I'd want a way to clear out the acknowledged events so I can only deal with unacknowledged events. I'm also looking for a method to look at past events if I need to see what happened in days past. And finally, I don't doubt that Zenoss can send emails based on conditions I set but I can't find that info in the documentation, so I don't know what search terms to look for. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
