I am trying to accomplish resetting the bindings in a whole device class, but at the moment i am stuck in this part, I try to disable the monitoring for a device.



d = dmd.Devices.findDevice('RT-276')

d.setZenProperty('zSnmpMonitorIgnore', True)

I get



>>> d.setZenProperty('zSnmpMonitorIgnore', True)

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 1, in 

File "/opt/zenoss/Products/ZenRelations/ZenPropertyManager.py", line 426, in setZenProperty

self._updateProperty(propname, propvalue)

File "/opt/zenoss/Products/ZenRelations/ZenPropertyManager.py", line 316, in _updateProperty

super(ZenPropertyManager, self)._updateProperty(id, value)

File "/opt/zenoss/lib/python/OFS/PropertyManager.py", line 205, in _updateProperty

raise BadRequest, 'The property %s does not exist' % escape(id)

BadRequest: The property zSnmpMonitorIgnore does not exist

If I try instead:



d = dmd.Devices.findDevice('RT-276')

d.zSnmpMonitorIgnore = True

commit()

Then there are no errros, but the value isn't changed either (it only works for the local values)

To do this using the JSON API, you could do it this way:

zenoss_api "device_router" "DeviceRouter" "setZenProperty" '{"uid":"/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/Linux/devices/ZENOSSTEST","zProperty":"zSnmpMonitorIgnore","value":1}'

Note that it requires arguments of zProperty and value, not just the zproperty:value so maybe the DMD method works similarly

After running the command with the json api (just to try), I receive some similar answer to the one I am getting while using the web frontend. I guess something got broken when doing the zendmd commands, and the property is no longer there :(

Progamatically create local zProperty value?
