Returning All Devices Running a Certain Process (and Similar Queries)

Let's say I want to generate a list of devices in the Zenoss enviroment running a given process, like mysqld. I know that I can look for process sets for a particular process class name in the GUI, but there's not a lot I can do with that output. Can I generate a simple report in Zenoss 5.x Is it possible to search for a process string ad hoc, rather than search for process sets Lastly, is this a job for which the API is better-suited Thanks very much for your consideration.

Good question! I have written a wee script that hopefully does what you want. You can find it among my Gists at https://gist.github.com/jcurry/d97bc81c9bd050af78a20c9e18f07a1b .

Let me know if it works for you.

Cheers,

Jane

Jane Curry! Zenoss royalty. =)

Querying "sshd" returns the same number of devices as it does in the GUI, with the added benefit that I can parse the output for further work. Thanks very much for this; I have very little experience with ZenDMD, partly because I started using Zenoss post-JSON API and partly because I'm a little afraid of it ;)
