Hi,

I want to install this zenpack https://github.com/JosefJezek/ZenPacks.community.Synology.

But there is not .EGG file present.

I remember that you can install it from Github in Zenoss 4 , but i couldnt find out how to do this in Zenoss 5.

How could i do this the best way Or should i transform the zip file to a egg file, but still, i can't find out how to do this also.

Many thanks in advance!

Regards,
David

At the very least you should be able to download the .zip and install that way.

Download the zip file from github. That gives you all the code. Then you will need to install it on a test system, in development mode ie. you include the --link parameter. Note that it says it has a prerequisite of the ConstructionKit ZenPack.

Once you have the ZenPack installed, you can then use the Export ZenPack option from the Action icon on the ZenPack's details page. Exporting the ZenPack creates the .egg version in $ZENHOME/export.

If you haven't done any of this stuff before, especially on Zenoss 5, then I suggest you take a look at http://zenpacklib.zenoss.com/en/latest/development-environment-5.html .

Come back if you need more help.

Cheers,

Jane

I have rebuilt this ZenPack on Zenoss 5.0.7 and generated an egg file.

You can get the package here -https://github.com/jcurry/ZenPacks.community.Synology

The egg file is in the dist directory here -https://github.com/jcurry/ZenPacks.community.Synology/tree/master/dist

I have tested that both versions install OK but do not have suitable test targets. Please ensure you test this on a development system. Feedback here would be appreciated.

Note that there is a prerequisite of ZenPacks.community.ConstructionKit - I used Version 3.1.

Cheers,

Jane
