Hello, our organization is testing out Zenoss as a replacement to Cacti, and I'm having a few issues trying to figure out the best practice for something - specifically a device tree, with zenpacks.
We've got around 100 servers, some with apache, some with mysql, some with iis. Some servers are apache and mysql, some are just mysql, some are just apache, etc. You get the idea. Obviously I don't want Zenoss to try to hit /server-status/ on all servers, since apache isn't running on all of them. And obviously I don't want Zenoss to try to do give me the mysql status on all servers, since it's also not running. I know I can bind zenpacks to specific device trees, but I can't really decide on how I want to do this. With so many servers being apache, mysql, iis, and a mix of most, I don't want to manually bind a zenpack to a specific server - that will take forever. I also don't want to do something like this, as it's far too convoluted: /Servers/Apache (50 servers) /Servers/Apache/MySQL (25 servers) /Servers/MySQL (10 servers) /Servers/IIS (10 servers) /Servers/IIS/MySQL (5 servers) I don't want to have the servers split up all over the place. How can I accomplish what I need, in a nice simple configuration? Am I making this out to be much more complicated than need be? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=19050#19050 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
