JSON API doc - http://community.zenoss.org/community/documentation/official_documentati...
-> I don't see any extract raw metrics data - graphs are rendered by RRD lib, so zenoss doesn't need this type of function

IMHO it's possible, but it's not free lunch and you will need coding skills - some inspiration http://zenoss-users.zenoss.narkive.com/8fCiG9J4/rrdfetch-via-xml-rpc

Maybe you can use also another concept instead of fetching, e.g. mirroring https://github.com/monitoringartist/ZenPacks.JanGaraj.DataMirroring (again coding skills are required).

Devops Monitoring Expert advice: Dockerize/automate/monitor all the things.

Any reason to think that first link would be inapplicable now This is my first time using Zenoss, so I am very new to all of it.

I can think of a few ways.

* Go to the collector, /opt/zenoss/perf/Devices/YOURSERVER/... and "rrdtool dump" the rrd files

* You can get the current value of an RRD metric with the getRRDValue API, for example

h_t_t_tp://yourzenoss:8080/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Windows/devices/DEVNAME/getRRDValuedsname=sysUpTime_sysUpTime

* There's Memory and CPU performance reports in the Zenoss interface, you could put together the options and use "curl" to retrieve and parse one on the command line. Use something like firebug to see how the web interface does it, and you can make your own script to do the same.

* Talk to "zenrender" service: http://yourzenoss.foo.com:8091/ and use the methods described there... Not much documentation out there but see this post: http://www.zenoss.org/forum/3316
