I am not 100% certain, but I believe that the only way that you will be able to see hardware changes is to re-model the device. I.E. It does not do "dynamic" monitoring of hardware changes on a server. I believe you will run into the same thing when you add software to the system too. The configuration of a server, hardware and software wise, appears to get generated when the device is modeled, and only when it is modeled. If my logic is not faulty, there is no way to do what you want to do with determining hardware changes. Zenoss wasn't really designed to be an asset management/asset tracking application. With this in mind, the only way you would get an event on a hardware change is, for instance, you had an application that wrote an event log entry on hardware change. Then you could poll for this event using the normal Event Log monitoring features of Zenoss. However, this would not alter the configuration of the server. It would still have to be re-modeled. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=20538#20538 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
