I see that you can toggle template binding for specific devices with zendmd using setattr(device, "zDeviceTemplates", bound)
However I wish to do this for a Device Class like what the GUI does for Advanced->Monitoring Templates
Select ethernetCsmacd_64->Devices and go to bottom menu to Override Templates and select a Device Class like /Server/Linux
Now select /Server/Linux under ethernetCsmacd_64 and go to bottom menu and select Toggle Template Binding.

That is the GUI Toggle Template Binding I want to execute in zendmd as the zenpack I created does not enable the binding by default.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be great!

d = dmd.Devices.findDevice('yourDevice')
zList = []
zList = ['Device', 'Test']
d.setZenProperty('zDeviceTemplates', zList)
commit()

Shane,

Thanks for the info, but the code you gave me is for individual devices.  As you see from my post, I want to know how to bind for a DeviceClass like /Server/Linux. This is what the GUI does in the Monitor Template.  Any other ideas?

Wes

mahimahi:

My mistake. You'll need to:

d=dmd.Devices.getOrganizer('Server')
zList = []
zList = ['Device', 'Test']
d.setZenProperty('zDeviceTemplates', zList)
commit()

What if I want to do the same thing from an URL call? I'm trying:

/zport/dmd/Devices/Server/SSH/Linux/devices/<devicename>/setZenProperty?propname=zDeviceTemplates&propvalue=Device%20CustomTemplate

but it doesn't work, I don't know how to send a "lines" propvalue

I've found that it's not documented in the JSON docs but you can use setZenProperty with DeviceRouter and it works
