Zenoss ZenTech Community

I have been spending so much time trying to find out how to effectively I can monitor processes in Zenoss core 4.2.5. My sourcess in online search-not necessarily google- are someminimal or too technical to-the level of MIBs- or too old resources as:

http://zenoss.com/blog/2014/04/10/use-process-sets-to-monitor-more-efficiently-and-reduce-monitoring-costs/

http://www.nickyeates.com/technology/zenoss/howtos/adding_processes_to_be_monitored

But none clearly hit the mark. As a research, we did install the solarwinds process monitoring solution SAM and within the SNMP v2c env we could get a full status of processes their resouce usage(RAM,CPU,etc,etc) and graphs. I am desperate to find out or get guide from here to where to go and how to configure and appreciate any help

H.safe...I just joined Zenoss as the new Community Engineer/Manager. I believe we have some other resources to offer and I will check into those and reply back.

Meantime, be sure to check out the latest version which today is Zenoss Core 5.1.4. I will also be updating the download and instructions page on the Wiki a bit this month so the information flows a better for everyone looking to work with the latest Zenoss Core.

Thank you for posting. Cheers!

jboyle,

I was hoping to get some answers really and it seems that there is a long queue for you :). Let me rephrase to the extent that I am ready to extend a hand to document and prepare a howto for the quesiton I asked if am helped to get over it.

As for the 5.1.4 and the fact of it being in a docker container, Ii is a way too big jump for us. Also reading the realease notes; why is that you guys dropped certain built-in zenpacks like HP in the 5.1.4 Certainly it is a negative mark.

Thanks replying

H.Safe,

Look at the admin doc for Resource Manager.

https://www.zenoss.com/resources/documentation

It will cover adding processes to monitor. By default, cpu, memory, count and up/down will be monitored.

The admin guide also covers a lot of good stuff if you are just starting out.
