Zenoss ZenTech Community

I have a small script written in python, which is supposed to POST some data on a specific URL, The problem is:

- I am integrating this script in zenoss -> events (http://ip:port/zport/dmd/Events/evconsole) -> click on some event class -> settings -> transform(here I copy-paste my script)

When the events are triggered, the script is called, but no data it's POSTed to the other IP (a different server) even if the script is running correctly - I don't get any error messages. So, I guess there are some restrictions at the network layer and somehow the POSTed data isn't sent by Zenoss.

Could you please guys tell me what should I modify (perhaps a .conf file or hosts) or what should I do to be able to POST some data on other server

instead of using a transform why not run your script in a COMMAND notification

Thanks very much. I'll look into that. More, another question:

- can you please tell me (if possible) what is the default password for zenoss user When I'm trying to:

su - zenoss

it succesfully logs in as zenoss user but I just get access denied for every command I run. Couldn't find the default password anywhere

You're right. I don't know why this didn't came to my mind. It worked.

How can I call a python script from the Command I just set up the triggers and also added in the command field(in Edit Notification) the following:

/root/script.py.

Did I do something wrong

PS: I really appreciate your help and sorry for wasting your time.

MrGrj,

The script will need to be in a path accessible by Zenoss. Are you running Zenoss 4 or 5
