I think this is a weakness in Zenoss currently, a Device can be a member of only one class, and hence can only have one set of templates applied.
What I've done is the somewhat cludgy /Devices/Server/Linux/Role1/Role2 and /Devices/Server/Linux/Role2/ ... And slot things in as necessary. It's a pain, but you can use some zendmd magic to copy templates around, or if you create your templates at a high enough level, just bind them where you need them. -- James Pulver Information Technology Area Supervisor LEPP Computer Group Cornell University seunaw wrote, On 9/4/2009 4:01 PM: > I am hoping someone could help with this, I am have an installation where I > would like to monitor a group of machines that different roles.
