I was just wondering what the best way to get monitoring for XenServer is (possibly people may have a similar issue with Xen also).

As listed in the title, I've got the following setup:

OS: CentOS 6.2 minimal install
Core: Zenoss 4.2 SP1

If I put anything in the /Server/Virtual Machine Host/Xen I get the following:

The command /usr/sbin/xm list returned stderr data (1) from the device: /usr/sbin/xm: Command not found.

I wanted to know what's currently the best way to monitor, in my case, XenServers from Zenoss? As the default setup requires various Xen related tools (which I guess are no longer part of the standard packages since KVM is now the default virtualization).

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

have you gone on the machine you're trying to monitor to see if 'xm' is in /usr/sbin for that machine?
I'd guess something as simple as a symlink might fix this.

Andrew, thanks for getting back to me, I did actually follow the instructions on the post that I'd noticed after initially writing that message. I updated my message to add that information at the bottom of it. I'd set it up as advised on the github page, I think it will do the job I want, I just need to play around with a non root user account to give permissions to the xe (XenServer, not Xen - but I hear XCP uses XE too now) list params by the looks of it.
