Hi Zenoss team,
Thanks for the Beta 2 release. I have finally got it up running and can access the Zenoss core UI.
But I tried adding localhost as /Server/SSH/Linux device for monitoring to Zenoss.
This fails, with connection refused (111) error code.
I can manually run ssh as zenoss user and connect to localhost with key, with user/passwd successfully.
I had setup the following zProperties:
zKeyPath - ~/ssh/id_rsa
zCommandUsername - myuser
zCommandPassword -mypass
zCommandProtocol - ssh
zCommandPort - 22
to correct values. And port number 22 for ssh configured is correct.

Can someone help with the issue here How to make Zenoss 5 monitor localhost succesfully

Thanks,
LN

Monitoring localhost will not work as expected because the ZenCommand Collector is running in it's own container. You need to specify the external IP address of the host you are running Core on. i.e. 192.168.1.2 not 127.0.0.1.
