So I've had Zenoss installed and running for a couple days now and
have been testing it out to see if it will make a good monitoring
solution for us. Along the way I have come accross the following
questions that I can't find answers to:
1. After running a model (using snmp), some information still
doesn't show up (file system usage, cpu information, performance
data). When I do an snmpwalk I see this information in there, but
it's just not getting populated. Is there a way to fix this or a
way to tell it where to populate that information from?
Not sure what the problem is. You can run zenperfsnmp in the for
ground and see if it gives any errors.
zenperfsnmp run -v10
2. On one machine I have a few different services running. If I
model it with zCollectorCollectPlugins set to 'snmp' (or leave it
empty), it doesn't find the http service or ssh. If I model it
with zCollectorCollectPlugins set to 'portscan' then those services
show up, but then udp services and mysql don't get recognized (this
part I kind of understand since mysql isn't listening
publicly...just localhost). Is there a way that I can set this to
both snmp and portscan. I've tried a few different ways, but if
you can I don't the proper syntax.
ssh and http most likely aren't showing up because they are listening
on an IPv6 address (which means they don't show through snmp :( ) Of
course they are found using port scan. No good way to perform both
portscan and snmp walk of services.
3. What is the difference between a Service and Process? It
appears Service is just that, ssh, smtp, http, etc. I take process
to mean a process running on a machine. Is this the case? Can I
use that section to see if certain processes are running on
machines or is it for something else?
Yes you have the distinction correct. To monitor a process add a
process class for it under /Processes that contains a regex that
matches the process name.
