There's a small amount more here: http://www.zenoss.com/community/docs/zenoss-dev-guide/2.4.2/ch02s03.html#technique_using_rest
But they really don't specify what the methods are, I think you'd have to look at the source code to find out. This is an area where someone familiar with the code could do some documentation. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University gabenell wrote, On 9/10/2009 5:26 PM: > I'm researching monitoring solutions.
