Hi Brandon,
First we have someone using 1.1 before the official release _and_
reading the documentation. I expect the four horseman of the
apocalypse any second.\
Yes, the new event actions do _not_ utilize the ssh connections that may
be in use to run the zencommands.
For the record, event actions are run from zenactions, who also sends
you nice pages and emails about your systems' status.

I guess I was confused by this in the admin manual:
"You can run various commands such as stopping and restarting services on
monitored devices through Zenoss commands."
The following screenshot shows two example commands 'sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd
restart', and using another using winexe to connect to a remote box and
restart zenwin. So, the 'sudo /etc/init.d/snmpd restart' command shown in
the screenshot would restart snmpd on the zenoss server?
Just to clarify, you are saying that the new event actions do not utilize
the ssh connection used by zenplugin to run commands on remote servers?
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
This isn't just a possible with Zenoss, it's the *only* possibility.
All event commands run on the Zenoss system. Yes, of course, you can
get information about the event, which may describe the remote device,
but everything is started local to zenoss system.
Of course, you could always use a longer script (using TALES
expressions) to effect remote systems.

Is it possible to have an event command run on the local Zenoss box rather
than on the device which generated the event? I want a certain event to
execute a script with TALES expressions on the box which zenoss is running
(much like event handlers on nagios). Is this possible with zenoss?
Thanks,
Brandon
