Grab a copy of the ZenPackDevelopers' Guide at https://github.com/ZenossDevGuide/DevGuide .

Chapter 9.11 "Extending the ZenPack to modify the device Overview" expands on the CustomOverview ZenPack that you mention above.

Cheers,

Subject:	I have built a small ZenPack

I have built a small ZenPack and included it on the DevGuide github repository -https://github.com/ZenossDevGuide/ZenPacks.community.DeviceOverviewMods It includes an example that uses __init__.py to create a new property method to get a zProperty. I used zCommandUsername but it should be fairly clear how to modify that.

The browser/resources/js directory has 3 little JavaScript files that modify 3 different panels of a Device Overview. DeviceOverviewZProps.js is the one that incorporates the zCommandUsername zProperty into the snmpsummary panel.

The browser/configure.zcml demonstrates that you can apply different GUI customisation to devices that belong to different object classes (in the "for" statement). Note that these are different object classes, not different classes in the Zenoss device class hierarchy.

Cheers,

Jane
