Hi Jesse,

What version of Zenoss are you running? I'll assume you are running 1.0. Forget all about that login stuff: if the About page tells you that zenperfsnmp is running, everything is talking as it should.

I'll take a stab at the problem: it's important that your configured cycle time and the expectations of the RRD files are the same.

You can do this by removing all the RRD files. If that's not acceptable you can use the 'rrdtool tune' command to increase your RRD heartbeat values. If this is a new installation, remove the RRD files.

If you are anxious to get this running well, modify the Monitors/Performance/localhost collection cycles to be much shorter. Then restart all of zenoss and remove the RRD files. I typically use 10 seconds (vs the default 300 seconds) for my testing.

   $ zenoss restart
   $ rm -rf $ZENHOME/perf

You should see graphs in 20 seconds, you should see values in a minute or so.

So I am still having problems with getting performance
graphs.  I have seen references to adding login
information to the zenperfsnmp.conf file.  What is the
syntax for adding this and what login information is
it referring to?  I have not added anything to that
file, but I don't see any errors in any of the log
files.  It seems to run every five minutes, but not
gather any information.  If I run it by hand, it
gathers the information and adds it to the RRD files
(note: I've just checked this by noting that the
timestamp on the RRD files changed...I have not
actually checked in the RRD files to see what data it
updated).  I guess what I'm asking for is a detailed
explanation for configuring and running zenperfsnmp. I've followed all the instructions I can find, but
have only become more confused (mostly because the
"add login information" reference is so vague).

Thanks,

-Jesse
