Hi All,

         I have been reviewing the Zenoss Adminsitration Guide, but it is not clear to me where to confirm that custom mibs are being walked.

Here is what I have done:

-Added a test device to my network.
-Loaded the custom mibs for this vendors device using zenmib command.

Question: Where can I see the output of the MIBs walked?
Question: When I try to add graphs for this device, there are no modular plugins available based on the mibs I just loaded.

Does anyone have a simple procedure to confirm the mibs are being walked, how to view the output, and how to graph the output?

Thanks!

Matt,

Loading the device MIBs allows Zenoss to translate the SNMP OID to
something human readable (e.g. 1.1.3.5.3.1.6.1 -> RocketA.FuelB.Nasa).
Basically adding the MIBs does not mean that Zenoss will use them to create
a "template" for your device.

What type of device is it? It sounds like it's not being modeled properly.
When you open the device in the Zenoss UI, use the gear in the bottom left,
and try a snmpwalk to see if it can connect.

Thanks,

       The Device is currently in the /Discovered path. Its a custom router running a modified version of linux. Zenoss found the hostname and the interfaces and is currently graphing throughput...etc.

       I reviewed creating templates, but that only allows me to enter 1 data point. I imported over 800 custom oids in the mib files I loaded. How can I make Zenoss walk all those new oids without having to add them one by one to a template? Is it possible?

Thanks!

You might be able to automate it using ZenDMD and of course you could
always create a ZenPack with those OID's.

Glad you are moving in the right direction now!

Thanks hydruid,

           I just browsed the zenpack creation doc. I think it may be slightly (or maybe way) over my head. Anyhow, thanks for the advice. I will continue to read the docs and see if I can find a way to make this a bit less time consuming and a little more user friendly i.e. "zenoss for dummies" - i.e. me! :)


Thanks!

Matt----
