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

You can either import the events with ZenSendEvent, create a ZenPack, or use the JSON API to manipulate events.

Lvirden,

Depending on the packet type it may or may not be directly supported.Can you give us a little more detail on the format Even if it isn't directly supported it's likely that a solution could be developed independantly. In that case email me at sscott@gvit.com and we can talk about the format and effort involved.

Take care!

My tech expert (who is preparing to retire... sigh) figured out a way to add code to take the incoming events (they are UDP packets) convert them into XML and insert them into Zenoss. So this is just about to start working. I do appreciate your help. Ireally appreciate your help.
