Using the Python Collector ZenPack - documentation and examples

If anyone is interested, I have created a new ZenPack that combines the work done by Ryan Matte in two previous ZenPacks, to monitor Windows devices using SNMP, without needing any add-on SNMP agents (like the Informant add-on).

It monitors cpu, ram, paging, number of processes and number of services. It also models Windows Services and provides a service component with a status.

This is currently beta so I have NOT yet published it to the wiki ZenPacks page. If you have a test environment, please feel free to try it out - you can get it from github at https://github.com/jcurry/ZenPacks.skills1st.WinSnmp .

In addition, I have used this ZenPack as an example to illustrate a paper that documents using the Python Collector ZenPack. You can get the draft (currently incomplete) paper from http://www.skills-1st.co.uk/papers/

Please report comments on either the ZenPack or the paper to me at jane.curry@skills-1st.co.uk.

Cheers,
Jane
