Hi!
I'm definitely a newbie with Zenoss Core 4.2, but I'm trying to figure out the best use of my time to learn how to do the following:
I have some SNMP enabled power distribution units running in my datacenter, and I need to be able to monitor them with Zenoss. The devices come complete with a Mib and a description of the OID tree. I was able to get the Mib imported into Zenoss via "zenmib run ...etc" and can see the Mib and OID tree in the Advanced tab, etc. But, when I add one of the PDU devices to Zenoss and have it modeled, it only sees the network interfaces, has no other components, and creates no graphs.
Is there any short version of the docs that I can read to know exactly what I need to add in order to make Zenoss associate all of the other Mibs with that device and create graphs for the data? Obviously, the simple answer is to read all of the docs and learn all there is to know about Zenoss. But, if I were in a hurry to get this up and running for one device, what would be the short lists of subjects that I need to understand?
