For some reason zenmodeler keeps on modeling my devices as soon as the daemon is being restarted, I would like to disable the modeler so it will not model my devices automaticly.

I've already changed the cycletime to 0 in both the collector and daemon settings without success.

Anybody can help me with this?

tzel,
Pretty easy process, just need to tell zenoss which daemons you want running:

# Create the following blank file to tell Zenoss you're controlling 
touch $ZENHOME/etc/DAEMONS_TXT_ONLY

# Specify the daemons that you do want started in the daemons.txt file
$ZENHOME/etc/daemons.txt
zeoctl
zopectl
zenhub
zenping
zensyslog
zenstatus
zenactions
zentrap
zenmodeler
zenperfsnmp
zencommand
zenprocess

This is just an example, would probably run a zenoss status and put every daemon you have in that output in your daemons.txt except for zenmodeler.

Rob,

Thanks for your answer, does this allow me to model devices manualy without enabeling the daemon as you suggest?

Definately - This file is read when you issue a zenoss stop or start to tell zenoss what daemons you want running.  Would issue a zenoss stop before you actually put the file in or zenoss will only stop the daemons in the file.

We actually run modeling via cron by just running zenmodeler in a shell script similar to this:
cron:
0 23 * * * /home/zenoss/bin/enterprise_model_env.sh

enterprise_model_env.sh

#!/bin/bash

#
#  Zenoss Modeler Run
#
#  Creation Date: 20120313
#

# location of the shell script that initializes the zenoss environment
ZENOSS_ENV=~zenoss/.bashrc

# print the error message passed and exit with a return code of 1 (error)
fail() {
    echo $*
    exit 1
}

#
# main script starts here
#

# set up the environment
test -f ${ZENOSS_ENV} || fail "Source environment not found"
. ${ZENOSS_ENV}

$ZENHOME/bin/zenmodeler >> /home/zenoss/logs/zen-modeler.log
