Hi all,

I'm trying to collect some metrics data from an application. Application provides meterics data in json format via REST. we are using zenoss version 4.2

what would be the right way to get these information into zenoss Currently we use webTx to extract information from HTTP request, but all the request are very simple key:value pair and we can extract information easily by regex, using regex to working a nested real json block doesn't sound right to me.

big thanks for any help!

-Rui

http://wiki.zenoss.org/JSON_Parser - you will need to extend it (=coding) - it should accept your JSON format, then it will transform your JSON format into Zenoss format, which will be parsed by original Zenoss JSON parser code.

You can process many datapoints in one go. You can process also events => it's amazing component for you.
