Zenoss ZenTech Community

I've started to write a ZenPack for our device following the zenpacklib SDK documentation (https://zenpack-sdk.zenoss.com/en/latest/tutorial-http-api/modeler-plugin.html).

For now I am just hard coding a dummy relationship in the collect() call of my monitoring plugin.

When I attempt to "discover" these objects, it appears that everything is fine, but then the last line in the output says publishing failed. There's no prior indication that there's a problem. Is there a way to get more detailed logs to determine what caused it to fail

Looks like zendisc has run zenmodeler and your modeler is a Python one

I would try:

zenmodeler run -v 10 -d > /tmp/test_model.out 2>&1

and

zenpython run -v 10 -d > /tmp/test_zenpython.out 2>&1

And then check those 2 files. The -v 10 is verbose logging. Make sure you redirect stderr to stdout with the "2>&1" bit on the end.

Do you have the ZenPack Developers' Guide https://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/jane/zpdevguide/

Cheers,

Jane

Thanks Jane! That at least gives me a path to start looking down. I get these errors for both:

2017-02-14 20:31:24,205 DEBUG zen.pbclientfactory: Lost connection to localhost:8789 - Connection to the other side was lost in a non-clean fashion: Connection lost.
2017-02-14 20:31:24,206 INFO zen.publisher: publishing failed: []

So at least I have something to go on to start.

Thanks for the Dev Guide link. I've found about 10 other outdated ones. Looks like yours may actually help. ;)

Can you show us what you are using for the relmap in your modeler code

Also, is this actually a Zenoss ZenPack or did you just use 'zenoss' as the company/owner name of the ZenPack
