Well, you might want to consider one of the Zenoss Enterprise versions, perhaps for ISPs? That's targeted for the Zenoss user org to have multiple customer orgs I believe.
In Zenoss Core, I'm not sure that there's an out of the box way to set a different from address. There may have been a forum thread on e-mailing reports, but I believe that required some custom coding. For your Monitors question, the way I think you want to do it is with a SNMP template + threshold of 1M, and then have an alerting rule that specifies count > 3 to get the fail x times. The time in between checks is unfortunately a system wide setting of SNMP cycle time and I believe is 60 seconds by default. You can change this via the monitor / collector settings on the left menu. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University sykosoft wrote, On 3/2/2009 5:13 PM: > Hello all. > > I've been watching zenoss for about 18 months, we've installed it, > uninstalled it, etc. We've gone back and forth on using it for our monitoring > exclusively, and we've finally decided to do so.
