Zenoss Notes\n \n

\n

Pre-Flight

\n

SNMP uses UDP on port 161
Zenoss provides a lot of useful
\ndocumentation.
The following ports need to be allowed to the server:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Port	Protocol	Description
8080	HTTP	Zenoss Web Interface
514	UDP	Inbound syslog
162	UDP	Inbound SNMP Traps

\n

Installation

\n

Zenoss Server

\n

Note: Zenoss does not like special characters in the MySQL root
\npassword.

\n

# Install necessary packages; MySQL and net-snmp are required  \nyum -y install mysql-server net-snmp net-snmp-utils gmp libgomp libgcj liberation-fonts  \n  \n# Configure MySQL  \n  \n# Install Zenoss  \nmkdir zenoss.temp; cd zenoss.temp  \nwget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/zenoss/zenoss-3.2.0.el5.i386.rpm\nrpm -ivh zenoss-3.2.0.el5.i386.rpm  \nservice zenoss start\n

This sets up everything. Go get some tea; this shall take a
\nwhile. Then navigate to http://<FQDN>:8080 to finish setup. This
\nbook
\nis your friend, friend.

\n

Uninstallation

\n

Navigate to the directory where Zenoss was installed.

\n

[root@zenoss zenoss]# ./uninstall\n

\n

Miscellaneous

\n

\n
Edit /opt/zenoss/etc/zope.conf and edit the address under <http-server>.
\n
\n
Don’t change the default directory (/usr/local/zenoss)
\n
\n
Changed zSnmpVer to v2c under “Configuration Properties” for Device Class
\n
\n
Reinstalled Zenoss for HDD monitoring
\n
\n
A most excellent overview of SNMP.
\nThis is probably all you need to get started.
\n

\n

Change admin password like so:

\n

su - zenoss  \n/usr/local/zenoss/zenoss/bin/zenpass\n

\n

\n
If you have a non-default port, your email alerts will still use the
\ndefault (8080). To change this, edit $ZENHOME/etc/zenactions.conf,
\nadd a line like so, and restart Zenoss
\n
```
zopeurl      http://servername.tld:9090\n
```
