"/Server/Linux Template"

Hi All,

I like the default Linux monitoring that you get when you put a device into /Server/Linux. My issue is I may have to build a Zenoss machine that will have devices not in that folder, but that need those checks.

How can I apply the checks from that template to devices not in that folder?

This question also applies when the /Linux folder has been deleted. Is there any way to get those templates back? I'm using 3.2.1 on SL 6.1

Thank you,
Joan

If you need to create a new device class but want the default SNMP template that is in /Server/Linux you can override the Device template there.

To do that click Advanced->Monitoring Templates.Â Find the "Device" and find the one that is at /Server/Linux and higlight it. Then in the bottom left there is a gear menu, click that and choose "Override Template" (in V4 I think it's "Copy template").Â Choose the new Device Class and you are done.Â That will get the SNMP monitoring.Â If you want all of the modeling that happens then you need to match the Modeler Plugins from /Server/Linux (Click the blue details button when in the Infrastrucure view) to the new Device Class

Now what would probably be better is to create a new sub device class under /Server/Linux (/Server/Linux/Web Server or /Server/Linux/ATM).Â That way the new device class automatically in herits the settings of /Server/Linux and then you can apply the custom templates to that Device Class.

To get the /Server/Linux class and template back you would need to reinstall the "Linux Monitor" zenpack.

Hi Dennis,

Thank you, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I changed the target within
the advanced section and that worked. Do you know why it's not possible to
have /Devices as a target? Otherwise if I have two directories both
directly under /devices, I can only bindÂ /devices/linux to one of them. (I
think)

The reason I'm doing all this is that I know the end user of this system
will want the majority of their folders to be directly under /devices or
they'll only want to drill down max 2 levels.

Also, the zenpack for Linux monitor is not the same - it's linux checks via
SSH as far as I know.. I'm currently working on just copying out the
default Linux SNMP into a zenpack which will help anyone that happens to
delete it by accident :)

Thanks,
Joan
