The mib loader is called zenmib. To load mibs first copy them to $ZENHOME/share/mibs/site. Then run zenmib. How do I resolve mib dependencies?You loaded aaa.mib, and when you attempt to load bbb.mib, you get this error INFO:zen.zenmib:Unable to find a file providing the MIB AAA-MIBTo resolve the dependency, load them like this

The Zenoss project provides an integrated, easy-to-deploy and cost-effective opensource alternative for enterprise IT infrastructure monitoring. Unlike the big OSS companies (IBM, HP, CA, BMC, Amdocs) we are able to keep costs down and directly involve end users throughout the world. More details can be found here.

MIBs are used in Zenoss for SNMP Trap parsing. They are not used when setting up the poller. This is something we will do in the future though.

After MIMIC 5.10, you can use Update Wizard to install the Juniper MIB update. Otherwise, you can download the latest MIBs from http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/index_mibs.html Then use the MIB Wizard to import them into MIMIC. The MIBs containing TRAP definitions (v1_traps*.txt) need minor modifications in order to compile with MIMIC: Add this to the IMPORTS clause (eg.

After MIMIC 5.30, you can use Update Wizard to install the Avaya MIB update. Otherwise, you can download the latest MIBs from http://www.lannet.com/site/software/ Then use the MIB Wizard to import them into MIMIC.

After MIMIC 5.30, you can use Update Wizard to install the Siemens MIB update. Otherwise, you can download the latest MIBs from ftp://ftp.siemens.de/siemens/servers/snmp/ Then use the MIB Wizard to import them into MIMIC.

After MIMIC 5.30, you can use Update Wizard to install the Brocade MIB update. Otherwise, you can download the latest MIBs from http://www.brocade.com/support/mibs_rsh/index.jhtml Then use the MIB Wizard to import them into MIMIC.

After MIMIC 5.30, you can use Update Wizard to install the Netopia MIB update. Otherwise, you can download the latest MIBs from ftp://ftp.netopia.com/pub/router/snmpinfo/ Then use the MIB Wizard to import them into MIMIC. You'll have to do a minor fix to change "DdpAddress" to "DdpNodeAddress", as standardized in the AppleTalk MIB (RFC 1742).

Yes. There are 3 mailing lists, which may be accessed in several ways. You can sign up for the lists and receive updates by mail, search previous threads, or browse the lists as they are presented in the Zenoss Forums. Zenoss-users - main mailing list of Zenoss project. Please subscribe to this list to ask product-related questions and participate in technical discussion. All messages can be read without registration here.

No the minimum requirement is MySQL 5.0.22. We use a trigger to move events to the history database. MySQL 4 has no triggers and 5.0.x < 5.0.22 has a very bad bug with triggers.

First, you need to define ZENHOME in the $ZENHOME/bin/zenoss script. Near the top of the file add this line: export ZENHOME=/usr/local/zenoss After installation, zenperfsnmp gives the following error /usr/local/zenoss/bin$ ./zenperfsnmp run -v 10 You need to edit $ZENHOME/etc/zenperfsnmp.conf to have the correct login information to zope so it can retrieve its configuration. SUSE 10's python install will not work with the Zope installer. You need to build python 2.3.5 from http://www.python.

Zenoss Plugins consist of a collection of platform specific python libraries used by the zenplugin.py script to gather performance information on a local computer. Using an SSH enabled Command collector Zenoss can securely monitor remote servers without requiring the system administrator to install and expose an SNMP agent.

You don't need to compile in many of the standard RFCs as they are already included in the STANDARD.MIB file. Some of the definitions in those MIBs are even hard coded into SNMPc (DisplayString or SMI for instance) and will generate errors if re-defined in a MIB. Here is a list of what is included in STANDARD.MIB:

You need to edit the loadmibs.pl script, put the names of the mibs into the script and generate the OID files. Not straight forward if you don't program in Perl but quite easy really. Something like: mibdump.pl mibdir=/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs mibs=router outfile=/data/nmis/mibs/cisco-router.oid You will need copies of MIBS, some available at http://www.sins.com.au/public/ NMIS now uses Perl Net::Ping and requires NMIS to be run with Root privileges.

Login to your island. Select 'Island Settings'. Remove that person from your island. Use your island settings to block that user. They will get the picture. You can even kick someone off your island; remember you are in charge of your island no one else.

Zenoss is designed to operate on any modern Unix system with a sufficient GNU build environment. For now it is known to work on at least the following platforms: Zenoss is able to be installed and run in a Windows environment. This is accomplished using the VMplayer from vmware.com, and the Zenoss Virtual Appliance. For more information about installing Zenoss using the VMplayer, see the Zenoss Quick Start Guide.

For the first one, you need to find out what the name of your system's python dev package is and then install it.

It means that your web browser cannot fetch events from Zenoss. This is usually related to problems with MySQL.

If your MIMICView has a MIB->Directory menu item, you can use it. Else use the following instructions: MIMIC accesses the compiled MIBs using the mimic.dir as the directory listing of the MIBs which are compiled into MIMIC. The general format of data/mibs/mimic.dir is as follows : lt;number-mibs-compiled> "<name-of-mib-1> "<data/mibs/<db-file-path> <number-of-top-oids> <top-oid-1> <top-oid-2> ..
