I currently have Zenoss 5.0.7. There is a bug with $ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel/actions.py that looks like it has a 2-line fix - https://github.com/zenoss/zenoss-prodbin/commit/1cb79b7724e6c554ee5ae4e30bb1b3127feb266c .
What is the correct procedure to modify actions.py?
Just accessing the Zope container with:
serviced service attach zope su zenoss -l
and then copying and changing the file, doesn't persist.
Thanks,
Jane
I'm a new administrator for Zenoss and I was tasked with getting the bandwidth useage info on a specific switch port. When I pull up the graph everything looks fine for the "Last Hour" graph but when I switch to "Last 30 Days" the data doesn't jive with the first graph and is way less than I know that port is using.
As you can see, the port used a max of 21.96 Mb/s Inbound over the last hour but somehow only .77M max over the last 30 days which would be impossible.
Am I reading the graphs wrong? Is there a bug in there? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am using zenoss core 3 running on RHEL 5.4 and after adding some devices, I noticed that reports are no longer loading and zenoss is not monitoring anymore. Troubleshooting on the on the server zenping, zencommand, zenstatus, zensla and zenperfsnmp daemons are not running and starting them individaully did not work. I have restarted both zenoss and the server severally but the problem persists.
When I ran zenchkrels -r -x1 command, i got the following error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/zenoss/Products/ZenUtils/CheckRelations.py", line 72, in <module>

AttributeError: 'WinServiceSNMPDevice' object has no attribute 'deviceClass'
Apparently a device doesnt have a device class. Degugging the failed daemons also give similar error. Is there any way to remove the device entry causing this problem? Please I need your help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
I was strictly following LDAP setting step by step from blog : Enabling LDAP Authentication in Zenoss Core 4.2+ and CentOS 6 and all settings was finished with no errors.
BUT in the front end of main login page, how to let LDAP authentication login works?
because nothing changed with login after setup LDAPMultiPlugin,
it still using default login.
that is, there is no request for LDAP server when login submitted.
I need help
Many thanks :)

So, we are complete beginners with Centos and Zenoss. But we have been trying to follow along with the wiki and guides. We have gotten to the point where Control Center seems like it is working. We see Zenoss.Core on the list of applications. However, the 5.1.1. configuration guide, chapter3, it says to find Zenoss.resmgr and click start.
We don't have anything called Zenoss.resmgr.
We tried to follow the instructions, only using Zenoss.Core, but when the endpoint URL appears, it is an https URL with a port on it. We click on that, and we get a browser page that says its unable to find the page - and the url displayed is missing the port 443.
We have been unable to figure out how to get the start wizard to start.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution for it?
Hi,
recently I came up with zenoss 3 to 5.0. I tried to use the same transforms as in 3 versions zenoss. But none of them no longer works. What is the problem? Changed syntax?
Two examples of transforms:
In triggers action command - curl --data 'chat_id='xxxx --data-urlencode 'text=''{"${device/summary}", "${device/Location}", "${device/SnmpLocation}", "${device/message}", "${device/firstTime}"}''https://api.telegram.org/xxxx/sendMessage'
And transform for link down/up events:
import re
device = dmd.Devices.findDevice(evt.device)
index = getattr(evt, 'ifIndex', 0)
descr = getattr(evt, 'ifDescr', '')
evt.component = descr
evt.deviceSnmpLocation = device.snmpLocation
evt.deviceName = device.titleOrId()
if device:
description = ''
for iface in device.os.interfaces():
if index and iface.ifindex == index:
descr = iface.description
elif descr and iface.name == descr:
descr = iface.description
int = getattr(evt, 'component', '')
evt.summary = "Port " + int + " is down!"
evt.message = "Port " + int + " is down!"In windows 2012, there is a hidden partition (without letter) that's reserved for boot stuf from windows see here, the microsoft zenpack is finding the partition on the modeling, but it's unable to read its counters, (might be for the the unassigned letter)
Zenoss is informing me of "5 counters missing in collection - see details" with this content in the message.
\logicaldisk(\\?\volume{b9878819-5f4c-11e4-80be-806e6f6e6963})\free megabytes, \logicaldisk(\\?\volume{b9878819-5f4c-11e4-80be-806e6f6e6963})\% disk write time, \logicaldisk(\\?\volume{b9878819-5f4c-11e4-80be-806e6f6e6963})\disk read bytes/sec, \logicaldisk(\\?\volume{b9878819-5f4c-11e4-80be-806e6f6e6963})\% disk read time, \logicaldisk(\\?\volume{b9878819-5f4c-11e4-80be-806e6f6e6963})\disk write bytes/sec
I could just disable the monitoring for this disk, but same thing will have for all the 2012 or newer installs. Should I report a bug?
I have servers with DRBD and need to monitor the DRBDs. I found a ZenPack to monitor DRBD, but, there are no instructions for how to setup and use the ZenPack.
I added the ZenPack, modeled the server, and the DRBD information is not showing up. What am I missing? Is this plugin based on the Nagios version, which requires modifying the snmpd.conf on the server?
Hello,
We are currently running Zenoss 5.0.7 and currently have 115 windows servers being monitored. 110 of those we are monitoring via WinRM. 5 of them are virtual, Windows 2012 Guest machines on VMWare hosts (not sure of our VMWare version) that are using SNMP. Those 5, if switched to be monitored by WinRM become inaccessible, the CPU usage climbs to 100% and they are unresponsive. Oddly, Zenoss doesn't show them as 'down' because they still respond to ping, but file shares and RDP no longer respond. These are not our only virtual servers we have, others in a seperate location can be monitored by WinRM without issue, and all of our physical servers can be monitered via WinRM. Has anyone experienced anything similiar, or have some ideas on anything that we can check?
Thank,
ThatOneGuy
Been trying for a week now to get Zenoss core working. Still struggling.
Control Center itself is up. It shows 7 services with a red exclamation point, and 5 services (some overlap with the first set) which have a red dot on them.
When we begin the startup wizard, and try to specify the machine on which zenoss core is running as a device, the software doesn't appear to return. If we go instead to the main tab for entering devices, what we see are jobs pending - and never starting (talking about days of waiting).
If we try to view events, none are displayed and when we try to create one, once again, the system just sits for a very long time - this test might have ended with a timeout error.
I suspect that the issues in the services are related to the other issues.
The odd thing is that the issues in the services generally appear to be errors in health checks. Nothing so far has generated an error that I can look at and say "Oh look, that needs fixed.".
When I opened a defect ticket, I was asked whether we were using "loopback setup" but I don't know what that means, so I can't answer that question.
So far I haven't found a good troubleshooting guide, and no docs, wiki, etc. seem to mention the failing health checks.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
We are working on moving Zenoss 4.2.5 to Zenoss 5.1.1, we are using python scripts to trigger notification to external sources. In content section of notification we have configured to call the script with event parameters passed as variables as below:
Command is /opt/zenoss/libexec/<scriptname>.py ${evt/eventState} ${evt/severity} ${evt/device} ${evt/eventClass} ${evt/summary} '${evt/DeviceGroups}' ${evt/evid} '${evt/component}' ${evt/manager} ${evt/ownerid}
Clear Command is /opt/zenoss/libexec/<scriptname>.py ${evt/eventState} ${evt/severity} ${evt/device} ${evt/eventClass} ${evt/summary} '${evt/DeviceGroups}' ${evt/evid} '${evt/component}' ${evt/manager} ${evt/ownerid}
Environment Variables - ZENHOME=/opt/zenoss
I want to replicate this same in 5.1.1 I understand in UI I can see put the same, but in which directory I should place my script in 5.1.1 and what would be Environment Variables as there is no /opt/zenoss/libeexec directory in 5.1.1
Thank you,
Hi everyone,
I've run into an issue installing resource manager 5.1.1. We were running 5.0 but ran out of space, when trying to get the service back up and running after adding space, we ran into the issue of docker complaining about UUID of the data stores being out. In the end I opted to just do a fresh install of 5.1.1 instead of going through the hassle of trying to get the 5.0 machine upgraded.
Now On a fresh isntall of 5.1.1 I'm getting the following when I attempt to start serviced:

Any one have any ideas?
Okay, so we have installed Zenoss Core 5.1.1. Control Center and Zenoss Core should be running.
When we get to the initial wizard, we are asked for an admin password. However, the wizard does not tell us what login that password is for. It also asks for a user login and password. We create one of those.
We get into Control Center and do some things. We notice that the user login and password that we created is the user that is logged in is the user we created during the wizard.
We let the user know the user login and password we created. When they try to log into Control Center, they get the Error Username/Password is invalid.
They are typing the password we supplied to the wizard.
We log out, because we think that perhaps Zenoss won't let the user log into the system in two places.
The user continues to get the error message.
We then try to log into the system with the first login we configured, back some time ago - it can't get into the system.
So, do we have to remote Zenoss and install again each time we want to use it? Just kidding - but it is frustrating to find that nothing we try is letting us into the system.
Hi there,
We were thinking of migrating our zenoss to latest version as an ec2 instance.
We only monitor 50 or so snmp routers. I find the requirements to be very steep to run zenoss...
20G of RAM, 500G of storage in all (SSD as DOC says) . Quad CPU , this Amazon ec2 instance would cost us 700$ or more a month !
Is there a way to run with lesser specs ? BTW, it's a question coming from my management...
thank you
I have seen references in the configuration and administration guides to "modeling" (there's a whole chapter with that as part of the title).
I just haven't figured out what the term means in relationship to Zenoss.
We have a few test machines that we can used with Zenoss without impacting other people. What information does modeling provide?
We have a need for the user of the Zenoss Core console to select an event on the console and then be able to take two actions. Each "action" is to invoke a shell command with information from the event.
In one case, the shell command will send an email with the details of the event.
In the other case, the shell command would need to be called with a field from the event, and that would result in a web browser displaying information about that field value.
How would we go about implementing such menu items or buttons?
Hi, I have a new install zenoss using the auto scripts zenoss.
I have this error:

Hi! We are learning our way around Zenoss Core. Interesting project!
We currently have a situation where an older tool is displaying events of interest. So there's code which gathers up events from a variety of sources, trims out noise, provides a priority, and then sends a UDP packet to the older tool, which then displays the items. The operations team look at the display, and then take action as necessary.
We would like to set up a Zenoss Core view to perform this type of function. Is there a way for Zenoss Core to be sent these UDP packages of information and then display them? Or are we going to need to convert the information into arguments for zensendevent and use that to send the events into Zenoss?
I'm using Zenoss 4.2. I created 3 graph definitions for a monitoring template. The graph definition names never showed up under the graph definition section but when I look under "Graphs" on the menu I can see all three graphs. I want to get rid of them but since they do not appear under the graph definitions section I have no idea how to do this. Is this a bug or something that I'm doing that I just don't understand? Also how can I delete these empty graphs?
