My situation is this: we have several java applications that we want to monitor, and they may or may not reside on the same host machine. Many of these applications will have some of the same components, so some of them will implement the same MBeans. Is there a good way to define a basic inheritance model with templates and datasources? For example, a template has several datasources, each of which defines an ObjectName that remains unchanged, but which might have to be used to collect data from two applications on one device and on application on another. Each implementation might differ by a few configuration properties (such as port number). The above thread recommends defining a dns alias for each application, treating each alias like a separate device, binding the alias/device to a the template, and editing the zProperties of the device. Is this the recommended approach? Is it possible to do this any other way other than copying and name-mangling templates and datasources? -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=35971#35971 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
