I think I've nailed it. Finally! I searched the forum for "componentSearch" and arrived at a handful of threads.
I found this thread: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3999&highlight=componentsearch which mentions using this URL: http://$hostname/zport/dmd/Devices/componentSearch/manage_catalogAdvanced and specifying hitting the "Update Catalog" button. After pondering it for a moment and not really knowing what that button vs "Clear Catalog" does, I got the sense that "Update Catalog" was more of a small hammer and "Clear Catalog" was the bigger hammer. (The latter sounds more like it will just purge everything there, even meaningful and useful stuff *shudder*). So I clicked "Update Catalog". I followed up with the cache clearing situps: - zenoss stop - delete *.zec - zenoss start On checking the tail end of zenhub.log, I'm happy to report that I'm no longer seeing the KeyError being thrown. All I'm seeing now are the warning messages about the listeners being removed (ie, from the last shutdown). Just to make sure that things are in reasonably good shape, I decided to do a zenoss restart. The results? Pure gold. Again. :) Here's the tail end of zenhub.log (after the restart): Code: 2008-03-01 02:23:00 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:00 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:00 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:00 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:01 WARNING zenhub: removing listener 2008-03-01 02:23:02 INFO zen.ZenHub: delete pidfile /opt/zenoss/var/zenhub.py.pid 2008-03-01 02:23:02 INFO zen.ZenHub: Daemon ZenHub shutting down Much obliged, Cluther! :) Now to see whether the other oddnesses have magically cleared themselves.... ;) -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=16815#16815 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
