Zenoss Core 5 - Cannot monitor itself via DNS IP or the master localhost IP

In Core 4 I got this to work by specifying localhost and running a discovery then assigning a device class of /Server/Linux and adding a MySQL Collector plugin to it.

With Core 5 the original IP or localhost fails an SNMP query during discovery.

2015-03-27 23:13:03,809 INFO zen.SnmpClient: Device timed out: SNMP info for zenoss01.xxxx at ::1:161 timeout: 1 tries: 6 version: v2c community: xxxx

2015-03-27 23:13:03,810 WARNING zen.SnmpClient: Device zenoss01.xxxx timed out: are your SNMP settings correct
2015-03-27 23:13:03,811 INFO zen.ZenDisc: No change in configuration detected

2015-03-27 23:13:03,812 INFO zen.ZenDisc: Daemon ZenDisc shutting down

Is there a best practice document to configure Zenoss to monitor itself for Core 5

Help!

Thanks,
Ken

It sounds like localhost will not work. I tried the solution posted in the forum using the external IP and the snmpwalk still does not work.

http://www.zenoss.org/forum/2391

I can snmpwalk the Zenoss Master via the external IP on the Zenoss Master and from other servers.

Help!,

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken,

I got this working by specifying the external IP of the Server in Zenoss (as you already mentioned) and adding the network Docker is using to the snmpd.conf file.

E.g. 172.17.0.0/16
