Zenoss detects my 2 Qlogic fiber HBA cards when the server is modeled and they are listed under 'Expansion Cards.

I would like to monitor those cards up/down status but the monitoring tab is grayed out.  The only other option is 'Locking'

Can someone tell me how to monitor devices in the Expansion Cards tab.

Thanks

Cenos 5.7 x64

Randy:

I dont think that zenoss is polling those cards. You'd need to write a tempalte for it.

Best,

Thanks Scott for the response.

Could you give a little tutorial in creating a template.  At that point that is a little over my head.

Thanks

The Admin guide has some high level information, and you can look at (though don't change them) any of the existing templates for some examples. Advanced -> monitoring templates... That said, while it's probably pretty easy to write a command based data source that runs some script to see if the card is up/down, it's not going to be integrated into the UI really...
