The documentation for 5 says to use the format
http://zenoss5.
and to manipulate hosts files, etc, to make this resolve.

This is less than ideal in my situation, and I would much prefer that the public facing information use
http://zenoss5.
http://opentsdb.
etc.

Is this possible Is this just a virtualhost setting on the server or something similar that would need to be updated I don't want to find a sneaky way to modify it, that will break when updates are applied in the future.

Host file is only for quick test. Of course you can use your domain/fqdn, just be sure, that it resolves right IP. eg.:
zenoss5.myproduction.zenoss5.com
zenoss5.myproductionzenoss5.com
....
If you want to change first part of URL (zenoss5 in this case), then you have to define new virtualhost (+right endpoint) in Control Centre. E.g. zenoss.myproduction.zenoss5.com -> virtualhost zenoss + "zproxy" endpoind.

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

I'm trying to work through that, but when I add a new virtual host, I have two options, a name, and a service-endpoint.

For name, I choose "zenoss5.example.com" and for service-endpoint, I choose "zenoss.core - zproxy". I see no way to make a new endpoint in here.

When I do that, I then click on https://zenoss5.example.com and get an error: "service associated with vhost zenoss5.example.com is not running"

The serviced binary supports the --alias option. Edit /etc/default/serviced.conf and look for SERVICED_VHOST_ALIASES. Uncomment that line and set SERVICED_VHOST_ALIASES to your fqdn.
