I just started using Zenoss and I am really new to it, so I am having some issues.

I have version 3.2.0 installed, and I am running it on Linux Ubuntu.

The issue I am having is this, I added some servers I know that SNMP is running on.  Now Zenoss will report to me how many Processors there are and it will also tell me how many harddrives I have attached and what the size of those harddrives are.  It won't, however, tell me what percentage the processors are at or even what their speed is.  Also, it won't show me how much space is being used on the harddrives or how much space is free, it also won't display any ram information.

As I said, I am new to this, so any help would be appriciated.

I have installed the following Zenpacks as well:
SNMPPerfMonitor v1.6
WMIDataSource v2.11
WMIPerf Windows V2.5.80
HPMonitor v2.1.0

You need to update to 3.2.1. Then, have you read the Admin Guide?

For windows servers most of those metrics you are asking for are supplied by the SNMP Informant agent.  You will need to have that installed on the Windows servers if you want to use the default Zenoss data points.

So I updated Zenoss to 3.2.1 yesterday, and I did read over the Admin Guide.  I installed SNMP informant on a computer added the computer Zenoss to Monitor.  SNMP was also installed and set up with public and to allow it to accept snmp requests from all hosts.  Its is still giving me the same information.

What device class is your test server in? What templates are bound to it?

I set it up in Server/Windows, and I didn't change any binding templates so I think its just binding the default ones.

If you haven't changed template bindings, then you'll not get any of the zenpacks you're using to do much...
WMIDataSource v2.11

WMIPerf Windows V2.5.80

those only affect devices in /CIM/WMI device class for instance.

SNMPPerfMonitor v1.6 - what is this, the advanced or simple or?? Those add sub device classes to /Server/Windows, but again don't do anything to the default.

So I wouldn't expect anything to change myself from what you get OOTB.

The SNMPPerfMonitor v1.6 is the advanced version. 

So is there any ZenPacks you would suggest for me to add, and I didn't see it in the Admin guide, but I may have missed it.  Is there a way to bind more than one template to a device?

Of course it does. Look at Template Binding in the Admin Guide.

I suggest you go over the whole thing myself so you're more familiar with how Zenoss works.
