--------------------------------------------------------------
Command templates and modeler plugins (you may have both) depend on using ssh to authenticate to the target system. You have two options - either use userid and password or you can use public-key encryption files (by default found in ~/.ssh/id_dsa .Â
You may use the same user and password/dsa keys for all target systems or each one may have unique authentication.Â
Zenoss provides Configuration Properties (used to be known as zProperties) for zCommandUsername, zCommandPassword and zKeyPath. You can set these at a device class level (navigate to the device class in the left-hand menu and then use the DETAILS button at the top of the left-hand menu). You will then see a Configuration properties menu for the device class. Any sub device classes under this one will inherit these properties, as will any devices. The values can be overriden further down the device class tree or at the specific device. To change for a specific device, navigate to the main page for that device and again you have "Configuration properties" in the left-hand menu.
Once you have the correct authentication parameters for each device, both modelers and templates should run successfully.
I use zencommand run -v 10 -d <device name> to check all modelers and templates for a particular device - the -v 10 provides verbose output.
Cheers,
Jane
