Hi All,

We are having issues with executing zensend events from colelctors,  when we execute the command from the master it works fine and creates alerts in zenoss. But when same command is executed from remote collector we are below error could you please advise.

zensendevent -d <devicename> -i <device ip> -s Critical -p test -y test -c eventclass message
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/zenoss/bin/zensendevent", line 179, in <module>

A collector is configured to send all events to the master but the way you input the zensendevent command does not look correct for me because it seems to be addressed to a local instance on Zenoss instead of the master. I'm not familiar with this command but there should be a parameter to indicate at least the IP address for the master Zenoss server, otherwise the command will not know where to send the event other than to localhost.

zensendevent actually communicates with zenhub.  Use zensendevent --help for usage and you will see that it has a parameter for --server which defaults to localhost.  Use this parameter and use your master Zenoss server name / IP as the parameter.

Cheers,
Jane
