Zenoss ZenTech Community

I have discovered Catalyst 4500 switch in Zenoss ( 6.2.0 ). I used ZenPack ZenPacks.community.CiscoEnvMon which should monitor Fan, PS, Port CHannels, VLANs ....... but in my environment I only see interfaces!! can sombody help me to figure out how to monitor the rest I am reading (Zenoss Community Edition (Core)Administration Guide) it did not help me.

According to the ZenPack documentation (https://github.com/epuzanov/ZenPacks.community.CiscoEnvMon), the ZenPack hasn't been tested on anything newer than 4.2. The last commit to the ZenPack codebase was just over 7 years ago, so it's hard to say if it's really compatible with 6.2+ or not. You may be able to install and use it without error, but you should be prepared to restore from backup in case something goes wrong.

The author's documentation on GitHub indicates that the ZenPack installs additional modeler plugins. For those plugins to discover components, you would first have to enable them on a device or device class.

Were you able to install the ZenPack? If so, do the listed plugins appear in your UI?

Hi Michael,

yes, I installed ZenPacks and I am able to see them under Advanced -> ZenPacks.

After that, I enabled SNMP on the switches then under Infrastructure-> I selected Network -> Details->Modeler Plugins-> then I added all Cisco Plugin

am I missing something ?

Good work!

The next step will be to perform a model run against the device to see if the plugins are running or if they're failing for some reason. You should be able to click the "Model Device" button on the device's overview page. If that doesn't provide enough detail, you can connect to the zenmodeler container and perform a debug level run to get more data.

From your Control Center host CLI, attach to the container:

serviced service attach zenmodeler

From inside the container:

su - zenoss
zenmodeler run -v10 -d $DEVICEID

After saving the output, exit from the zenoss user and then the container:

exit
exit

If you need help interpreting the input, feel free to paste it here to throw it into a pastebin and link it. Keep in mind that the output may contain hostnames, IP addresses, or SNMP community strings that you'd rather not expose to the public. If that is the case, you may need to perform a find/replace with your tool of choice before posting.
