Are you running the 1.1.1 vmware appliance?

Can't get alerts to work, 1.1.2 (not device class filter)

Hi all,
Just trying to set up a simple (I think) email alert rule.  I know about the problem in 1.1.2 using a device
class filter, but I'm not doing that.  In fact, the only filter I put on (since you seem to need at least one) is
"Production State = Production".

The setup is:
A windows box running HTTP, in the /Device/Server/Windows device class.  That box is in a group named
"/Build Machines". The admin user is an Administrator for that group.  
I've done a test email for the admin email address and that went through. I set up an alert rule for the admin
user, and enabled it. Delay is zero, email addr for the rule is blank and action is email.  There are no
schedules associated with the rule (so it should always be active, right?).

If I take the http service down on the monitored box, I can see a red event for the box, but no email goes out.  If I
look at the zenactions log, I see nothing but "Processed 0 rules" and "Processed 0 commands" every minute.

I've tried adding a schedule and everything else that I can think of, but nothing seems to make a difference.

I must be missing something basic about alerts, but I don't know what and there's not much information on
troubleshooting them in the manual.

Any ideas?

Thanks, 
Kelly

Ta, the problem is the admin user...

...try creating another user with an alerting rule and you should see  
this increasing to: "Processed 1 rules"...

It seems the rules created for the admin user are ignored by  
zenactions; whether this is intended or a bug I can't say, though it

Event count from command not incrementing

I have a command that generates an event when it finds a particular problem. When the problem is persistent,
an event is generated every cycle (5 mins). The events must be getting deduplicated since I only see one
event in the list, but the first and last occurrence time are always the same (that of the last event
occurrence) and the event's count stays at one.

This is causing problems since I only generate an alert if the problem persists for 10 mins. Since the event
always makes it look like the event just happened, no alert is going out. Not good.

Is this a known bug, or do I need to make a change somewhere?

TALES use in command fields?

Is there a way to use TALES expressions in various fields available when setting up a command to run a plugin?

For instance, I have a command that runs from a filesystem template. I'd like to make the "component" field
of the command ${here/mount} so the event that gets generated can be deduplicated based on which mount
point the problem occurred. Zenoss doesn't seem to do expansion on the expression so my events have the
lieteral "${here/mount} in the component field. Not useful.

Any suggestions about how to handle this?

I have the same problem, where the service / machine goes down, zenoss 
marks it down, it comes back up and zenoss doesn't notice until hours 
later. If I run zenstatus manually (zenstatus run) it correctly notices 
the machine as up, but when the daemonized zenstatus runs the next time, 
it's marked as down again.

Makes it quite useless for me at the moment.

RE: Heck of a time installing 1.9.6 beta on CentOS 4

That's the same issue when I try to install either of the non-trunk source
packages.

I've installed the deps and zenoss 1.9.6.  When I run zenoss for the first
time it goes through the process it fails to create the dag-gum Zeo database
for some reason (unknown as of yet).

This app is cool, except for the pains during installation.  Would
appreciate some help with this so I can monitor my boxes while I sit and
work at home in my underware.  :)  That'd be great...

I can run the zenoss_init_pre script and get the same results consistently,
see...

New starter, please help

Hi, all:

I am a new user of Zenoss. I want to use it to moniter windows network.

I try to read the document to install the software, but I cannot get good instruction for installation.

First, I don't know what relationship they have between Zenoss core and Zenwin? Zenwin is a stand-along
service component or it has any prerequiist component from Zenoss.

I try to use the installation instruciton. In the configure part, it is not clearly described.

Do I need to install Apache, MySQL, and setup something?

I try to down the quick starter pdf file, and it keeps failed. I try to install VMplayer, it reported that the
file is too big over 2G. I don't know how come I get so many problems.

please help, and give me a step by step instruction, or a better install instruction for windows users.

Thanks

Adding Mibs, well trying to, not working properly

I'm trying to add MIBs for Cisco routers and switches, just trying v1 right now so I put *.my in the
%ZENHOME/share/mibs/site/ directory and this is what I get when running zenmibs run.

Code:
