WMI Non-Admin user not seeing all services

Hi,

 

I have gone through all the steps to set up a non-admin user for monitoring (DCOM, WMI, enable ntlm2 etc). All LOOKS good, except the zenoss user does not see all the services. I have not found any solutions out there:

zenoss 4.2.0 and postfix mysql dep

$

0

Hi Folks,

 

I've just completed a clean manual install (not using the auto-install script) of 4.2.0 on centos 6.3, and am running into a hell of a dep issue with mysql, zenoss, and postfix.  I've installed all of the MySQL stuff indicated in the install docs:

 

 

MySQL-client.x86_64                5.5.28-1.el6                 @/MySQL-client-5.5.28-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-server.x86_64                5.5.28-1.el6                 @/MySQL-server-5.5.28-1.el6.x86_64
MySQL-shared.x86_64                5.5.28-1.el6                 @/MySQL-shared-5.5.28-1.el6.x86_64

 

 

However, now postfix won't start:

 

 

# postfix

postfix: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 

 

Obviously the "shared" package isn't handling the requests for libmysqlclient.so.16 - not surprising since, according ro rpm at least, it only provides .18 files:

 

 

# rpm -ql MySQL-shared-5.5.28-1.el6.x86_64

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient.so.18.0.0

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.18

/usr/lib64/libmysqlclient_r.so.18.0.0

 

 

 

I have seen a few mentions of this on the forums here, but no solutions.  Anyone have an idea how I might fix this?  Reinstalling postfix sneaks mysql-libs in with the install, strangely not complaining about deps, so that's not really an option.

 

PS - how to I indicate code or quote tags on this BBS?

Hey, I'm very new to Zenoss. My task recently at work has been to upgrade the current Zenoss system (2.5 on a literally unknown linux distro).

 

I have created a New VM on an ESXi Host, installed CentOS 6.4, and was easily able to configure it and run the auto deploy script provided on the Zenoss Install Wiki. I was very pleased with these results.

 

The old system just did ping tests on a listed amount of servers. The goal was to increase monitoring using more of the capabilities Zenoss offers. Heres the info I can provide, i hope its enough let me know if more info is requred:

 

Class = /Server/Windows/WMI

I found this fourm post, http://community.zenoss.org/thread/16187 and attempted the trnsform script provided, but that did not resolve the Issue, i still get this error in my events on Zenoss. I can see all the info I would like to see via the WMI modeliing I just really would like not to see this error. I am able to see what the disk usuage is for each disk on the device so i'm not sure what exactly its complainnig about and i can't for the life of my find where in Zenoss I would disable this monitoring request.. Thoughts?

 

Oh and the Server being monitored via WMI is Windows Server 2008 R2.



Zenoss 4.2 Maps Portlet error "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"

$
0
0

Having tried Zenoss and loving it i'm begining to fill it with routers i'm monitoring on the internet.
Als goes well and there's lots of info when something doesnt work or when you don't no how.
Great Community ;-)

 

But now i'm running in to an error i can't find on the forum and don't know how so solve.


I now have 30 routers on 30 diferent locations set up in Zenoss.
But now the Google Maps Portlet gives when the counter hits 14 of 30 the error :


"Google could not process addresses. Reason: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"

 

My first thought. The google maps rquest limit of 25k (I don't have that many mappoint yet but maybee through some error)

But that was'nt the case. The report says about 100 query's on the google page for the first two days of testing.


I see somebody mentions(but for a complete different application) that there is a limit of adresses you can send to google in 1 or 2 seconds.

Kan this be limited in Zenoss so there will be a small delay in geo looking up. Or does anybody know where this error coems from

 

 

 

Also, if i'm not mistaking . Zenoss should cache the adresses so it doesn't have to look them up all the time , right ?

Everytime i get to the dashboard it starts over again with lookip up 1 0f 30 2 of 30 until 13 or 14 and then the error.


I already dit al clear geocache in the Infrastructure menu and also restarted zenoss a couple of times

 

 

Any help is welkom, i'm setting this up to convince my superior to switch to Zenoss in stead of OpenNMS an Nagios ;-)

 

 

Picture of error is attached

 

 

LITTLE UPDATE:

 

 

As far as i can check it should not re-geolocate every adres everytime.
I made a sub location container with 5 adresses. This works because i don't hit the 13 limit.
But ervery time i switch from and back to the dashboard is re-geolocates the adresses.So no cache is being used what so ever.
If i hit the 14 in this container i also get the query limit error again. But if it would cache i would have 3 times the error and then it would use the cached location

 

So where can i find the file or database entry where the cache is beining supposed to be build up, anyone ?

Customizing Email Notifications

$

0

Hello,

 

I'm trying to customize the e-mail notifications sent out by Zenoss Core 3.0.3. Here's what I have so far.

 

Summary:

%(device)s %(summary)s

 

Body:

Device: %(device)s
Component: %(component)s
Severity: %(severityString)s
Time: %(firstTime)s
Message:
%(message)s
<a href="%(eventUrl)s">Event Detail</a>
<a href="%(ackUrl)s">Acknowledge</a>
<a href="%(deleteUrl)s">Delete</a>
<a href="%(eventsUrl)s">Device Events</a>

This works great for most devices, however any devices that are not registered in DNS only show the IP address in the notfication. For example I have a device named BURL-SERVER-UPS. IP address 192.168.17.98

 

When the up/down notification gets sent, it gives a notification saying:

 

192.168.17.98 ip 192.168.17.98 is up

 

What field can I use so that the notification shows the Device Name rather than the IP?

snmpwalk Timeout: No response from...

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble getting snmp configured for one of my servers. I'm able to get a result from the command "snmpwalk localhost -c public -v1" on the machine itself, but I'm unable to get anything but a timeout error when using the snmpwalk command in Zenoss.

 

I've looked through the "Configuration of NetSnmp for use with Zenoss" (http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2502) and "How to Troubleshoot SNMP" (http://community.zenoss.org/docs/DOC-2538) documentation and used the suggested configurations. I've also double-checked my user/pass settings in the device's zProperties, but am still unable to get a response.

 

It's a *nix boxed used for storage, so no mysql/apache/etc. Does anyone have any idea what else might be causing the problem?

 

Thanks.

Linux memory thresholds

$
0
0
I'm sure someone else has had and solved this problem, but short of writing a plugin to handle it, I'm at a bit of a loss.

Linux "free memory" is actually the sum of three components in SNMP and Zenoss - real memory, cached memory, and buffers.

When setting up a memory threshold in Zenoss for a Linux server, you want the threshold to be against the sum of those three, not just real memory (because a very active server could have virtually no "real memory" free because it's all tied up in gigs of cache and buffers, which is a completely normal situation and that memory will be reclaimed by applications as needed).

Unfortunately, Zenoss only allows thresholding against a single datapoint, making it essentially useless for thresholding memory usage on Linux servers (Sun, for instance, doesn't have this problem as it reports free memory in one "chunk").

Has anyone else already solved this problem? It seems a shame to even consider writing a plugin to handle this, having to deploy it to each server, and wasting the additional CPU cycles to return data that Zenoss already has.

esxtop with Zenoss 4.2

$
0
0

Hi,

 

I'm currently testing Zenoss 4.2 in order to deploy it as soon as I straighten all annoyances.

 

One show stopper I encounter is I can't make esxtop work properly in Zenoss.   Resxtop works well from command line.   check_esxtop as well.   But in Zenoss,  all I get is a component named "Virtual Machines" with the number of Vm's on the host.   But clicking this componed won't list any vm's on the right pane.   The events list for this device says "No data returned from this command".

 

zCommandUserName and Password are set for the esxtop class.   Modeling seems to act correctly.

 

Is anybody having problems with esxtop under Zenoss 4.2?

 

In 3.2,  I used to use VMWare Esxi monitor because I couldn't make esxtop work at that time.  So I'm new to esxtop.  I thought it is a good idea to use it as it is supplied with the core zenpack bundle.

 

I run zenoss in CentOS 6.1 with most current packages.

 

Thanks

monitoring of SLAs. SLA objects are children of the parent SLA
appliance. The ZenPack provides 3 templates HTTP, New_SLA and VoIP
under the device class /Devices/Network/IPSLA.

Can Zenoss monitor ssl cert expiration and domain name expiration?

$
0
0

I am hoping we can use zenoss to monitor our SSL webservers (or other ssl cert enabled services) for expiration, we'd also like to have domain names in Zenoss so they can be monitored for expiration dates.

 

Is this currently possible? If there's not a way or a zenpack for it, I'll work with my developer at work to create a zenpack for it.

Currently scripting bash scripts which using zensendevent tool to monitor backups that coming to the backup servers.

The scripts works fine, can send event when things not right and clear the events when things working alright again.

The problem now lying in the event Count send by zensendevent command not incrementing. Therefore I got hundreds of Critical events which is referring to one Critical events. No problem with Clear events command which can remove all those Critical Event, but when Critical events coming over and over again, the event count not incrementing and really filled up the Events Tab within device.

To send Critical events:


/usr/bin/zensendevent -d hidro.logistics.com -p hidro -k hidro -s Critical -c /Backup/HIDRO/ --server zenoss.logistics.com \
"Warning\!: HIDRO rev #$(echo $hidro) NOT MATCH with COUGAR rev #$(echo $cougar) on `/bin/date` \!"


To send Clear events:


/usr/bin/zensendevent -d hidro.logistics.com -p hidro -k hidro -s Clear -c /Backup/HIDRO/ --server zenoss.logistics.com \
"Info\!: HIDRO rev #$(echo $hidro) IS MATCH with COUGAR rev #$(echo $cougar) on `/bin/date` \!"


Is there anything wrong with the command shown above? How to make the event count incrementing? Trying to find on Google and also this forum does not reveals any hints.

Thanks!

How do I drop these crazy syslog messages?

I have some crazy syslog messages coming in with a component and eventClassKey that are simply steadily increasing numbers. The only consistent thing is the event summary message. The events are being generated when a Cisco router log line wraps around to the next line. Zenoss interprets this as a new event and handles it kind of weird. Anyways, here is a sample of the events that I am seeing (yes, the last event example actually has a completely blank summary message). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

CPU Utilization Report

When you use graphs, you can see CPU utilization for the last few hours, days, weeks and months. Is there a way to take the information that is generated in the graphs, and create a report that gives you the same monthly statistical information? I have tried for the last week to figure this out and cannot find a way to get this information in a report.

 

Thnak you in advance for your help.

Can't keep zenhub running

I sure hope someone can help me figure this out.  Been through all the logs, forums, and anything else I can think of, so as a last resort, I'm reaching out the community.  I'm not a power linux user by any means, but  know enough to be dangerous, to give you some background.   All we need is simple monitoring and alerting, but without Zenhub, we don't get alerts, which isn't good.  Zenhub won't stay running for a more than 2-3 days at this point, and it's been that way for months.  There's nothing in the zenhub log.  It just stops.  I found this in zencommand log, which is the most information I can find on the issue.

We are running this on Ubuntu Linux 12.04.1 and Zenoss is the latest version: Zenoss 3.2.1.

 

I'd truly appreciate some help in getting this fixed.  Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.  Thank you in advance.

Zenoss 4.2 Maps Portlet error "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"

$
0
0

Having tried Zenoss and loving it i'm begining to fill it with routers i'm monitoring on the internet.
Als goes well and there's lots of info when something doesnt work or when you don't no how.
Great Community ;-)

 

But now i'm running in to an error i can't find on the forum and don't know how so solve.


I now have 30 routers on 30 diferent locations set up in Zenoss.
But now the Google Maps Portlet gives when the counter hits 14 of 30 the error :


"Google could not process addresses. Reason: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"

 

My first thought. The google maps rquest limit of 25k (I don't have that many mappoint yet but maybee through some error)

But that was'nt the case. The report says about 100 query's on the google page for the first two days of testing.


I see somebody mentions(but for a complete different application) that there is a limit of adresses you can send to google in 1 or 2 seconds.

Kan this be limited in Zenoss so there will be a small delay in geo looking up. Or does anybody know where this error coems from

 

 

 

Also, if i'm not mistaking . Zenoss should cache the adresses so it doesn't have to look them up all the time , right ?

Everytime i get to the dashboard it starts over again with lookip up 1 0f 30 2 of 30 until 13 or 14 and then the error.


I already dit al clear geocache in the Infrastructure menu and also restarted zenoss a couple of times

 

 

Any help is welkom, i'm setting this up to convince my superior to switch to Zenoss in stead of OpenNMS an Nagios ;-)

 

 

Picture of error is attached

 

 

LITTLE UPDATE:

 

 

As far as i can check it should not re-geolocate every adres everytime.
I made a sub location container with 5 adresses. This works because i don't hit the 13 limit.
But ervery time i switch from and back to the dashboard is re-geolocates the adresses.So no cache is being used what so ever.
If i hit the 14 in this container i also get the query limit error again. But if it would cache i would have 3 times the error and then it would use the cached location

 

So where can i find the file or database entry where the cache is beining supposed to be build up, anyone ?

Customizing Email Notifications

$
0
0

Hello,

 

I'm trying to customize the e-mail notifications sent out by Zenoss Core 3.0.3. Here's what I have so far.

 

Summary:

%(device)s %(summary)s

 

Body:

Device: %(device)s
Component: %(component)s
Severity: %(severityString)s
Time: %(firstTime)s
Message:
%(message)s
<a href="%(eventUrl)s">Event Detail</a>
<a href="%(ackUrl)s">Acknowledge</a>
<a href="%(deleteUrl)s">Delete</a>
<a href="%(eventsUrl)s">Device Events</a>

This works great for most devices, however any devices that are not registered in DNS only show the IP address in the notfication. For example I have a device named BURL-SERVER-UPS. IP address 192.168.17.98

 

When the up/down notification gets sent, it gives a notification saying:

 

192.168.17.98 ip 192.168.17.98 is up

 

What field can I use so that the notification shows the Device Name rather than the IP?
