I don't know of any way to do what you want. You can define alerting
rules so you're only e-mailed based on class. You may also be able to do
event transforms with python and such as in the Admin guide to change
the severity of events based on class, but I don't think you can specify
to monitor services based on class.

Greetings all, this is my first post so be gentle ;-)
We have been using zenoss in our test environment for a few months now and have
been very impressed. The decision has now been made to put it into live and
I've just stumbled across a problem that is going to give me no end of grief.
We are monitoring Windows Services on a few individual servers and it's been working just fine. I
simply browse to the OS tab, select the Windows service I want to monitor and change the value of
"Monitor" to true, easy. I also noticed I could set the property of "Monitor"
of an individual service under /Service/Winservice and sure enough, that service will be monitored
on every Windows server I have, which is great.
My problem is this. We have about 300 Windows servers which fall into various categories
(Domain Controller, File and Print etc..) I want to be able to monitor certain services
depending on which category the server falls under (i.e: DNS, Netlogon on Domain
Controllers and "Server Service" on the File and Print machines). I've been
looking for quite a while now and I cannot seem to find out how to monitor a group of
Windows services at anything other than the entire /Devices/Server/Windows level, OR, the
individual machine (under the OS tab).
I have tried to create another device group under /Devices/ called "Domain
Controllers" but I cannot seem to find how I monitor a group of services on that
container.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Or at least tell me if it can/can't
be done as I'm pulling my hair out right now!
Thanks in Advance. :)
