You can delete that "ping" status monitor and just let it use localhost. for devices where there is no snmp or don't have access to snmp community ok, then I gave you bad instructions. all you should have to do is set the "Discovery Protocol" to none And it should check ping leave all the rest the default ok chet: no. and set "Status Monitors" to "ping" I thought you didn't want it to ping. tried at 10:30 EST b00mer: How did you add the device? "Add Device" then set "Discovery Protocol" to none. I tried setting it to 0 now back to 2 then played with the maximum failures from 1440 to 5 b00mer: Zenoss caches configs, and reloads every 20 minutes So if you make a change, it might take a while to register unless you restart zenoss yea. The reason it works is that the default zenping process sees that it isn't the monitor for that device, so it doesn't check it. and so far no pings to the box being monitored There wouldn't even be any if you set the ping tries to 100. I don't have to worry about that I just monitor servers Not network gear I've tried that ping monitor. you have the issues of parenting licked? luckily. Once you get it working, there are some nice things about it so creiht. We lost our monitoring server, and I didn't want to go through setting up ONMS again That's when I found Zenoss, and haven't looked back I tried to get opennms to talk to our APs and it was a PITA. It is a pain to get setup More of a pain to extend. I didn't know a lick until I started using Zenoss. tried twice and both times lost interest heh. creiht: I always found OpenNMS to be a bear to get started with. but its on my list of things to dive in to I've trying to avoid finding a reason to learn python.

it currently tells me when a host comes back online via email, but not when it goes offline b00mer: If you don't already know Python, learn it and Zenoss becomes oodles better. b00mer: I'm using it in production and love it I used OpenNMS before though and not Nagios its funny. but still I don't even remotely understand the basics yet. there wasn't as much of a learning curve looking at zenoss as I would have imagined. Sometimes better is just defined as differently. Unfortunately there are still a few things Nagios does better. how do you like it? impressions? You can manually hack the routes in, but it is anything but straightforward. I think you're SOL until the next release then. thats what I want to do I just have a number of devices that are over VPNs and don't have SNMP and I hate the tunnel goes down and 50 emails go out scenario when one would have sufficed Yeah. having it shadow my existing Nagios system. you using this in a production environment or just testing it out? or both Just testing right now. Oddly enough I work right down the street. chet: you work for Zenoss? I see your in MD? You can't currently add relationships manually, but this is slated for the next release. I've been meaning to run a test of this capability to see how well it really works in the real world, but haven't had the chance yet. The other processes like zenstatus or zenperfsnmp can that use this host down data to avoid polling hosts that are down. It can determine if a host is unreachable or down using this data. The zenping process uses the knowledge of your routing tables to build a hierarchy of systems, thus automatically discovering your parent relationships. I'm not 100% clear on how the parenting works in Zenoss, but here's my understanding.

is that in Zenoss? Is that the idea of the zenmodeler? and if I am doing some ping-only monitoring, is it as effective as it will need to be, if not can I add relationships manually? btw: Thanks chet. and in Nagios there is parenting (has some issues, but works ok) of devices. thinking about migrating from Nagios to Zenoss. Is it possible to create a user which can only see certain devices? no, not yet. how do I associate that to a specific device? Go the the Edit tab for a device, status monitor is a drop-down. At least that was the solution posted to the list. You create a new status monitor and set the ping retries to 0 chet: do you mean "Ping Tries" ? oops, yes. Is there a way to do it? b00mer: Yes looking.

was there a resolution? I want to monitor a device which doesn't have an snmp daemon. I see the recent mail thread regarding the ping only monitoring in the archives. *** adytum-bot has joined #zenoss *** adytum-bot has joined #zenoss *** chowmeined has joined #zenoss *** Snake-Eyes has quit IRC *** Snake-Eyes has joined #zenoss *** chowmeined has quit IRC *** adytum-bot has joined #zenoss *** adytum-bot has joined #zenoss *** nassy has quit IRC *** monrad has quit IRC *** monrad has joined #zenoss *** b00mer has joined #zenoss *** _chris_ has quit IRC *** jimmy-james has joined #zenoss *** chet has joined #zenoss *** _chris_ has joined #zenoss *** creiht has joined #zenoss *** cote has joined #zenoss Hi y'all.
