| Subject: | What does "DMD" mean? |

I have seen /dmd/ in paths, and when I search this site I see zendmd mentioned as well as other references, but I don't seem to see anything coming up in the searches that explains the term.
Can someone provide a gentle introductory paragraph (or shorter) regarding what DMD is
Thank you

DMD stands for Device Management Database - a generic term, I believe.
zendmd is the specific instance of a DMD for Zenoss. In practise, it is what is also referred to as the ZODB - the Zope Object Database, which is actually implemented in MySQL and which holds all the configuration objects for Zenoss - device classes, instances of devices, event classes, trigger definitions, MIBs loaded, performance templates, etc.
zendmd is an interactive Python environment that is primed with knowledge of the Zenoss environment (so you don't have to use loads of import statements before accessing Zenoss methods).
HTH,
Jane
