[edit] ZenPacks

A ZenPack is a plug-in or extension to Zenoss. Zenoss has many (more than 200) ZenPacks available. Typically, ZenPacks add the ability to monitor new types of devices, but can also be used to add new capabilities to the software itself, add new reports, etc. The extensibility available via ZenPacks is a critical part of Zenoss, as datacenters have lots of different types of hardware and software (such as cloud services) that need to be monitored, and ZenPacks allow you to monitor everything! We have three different kinds of ZenPacks:

Community ZenPacks

These are Open Source ZenPacks that have been developed by our user community, and can be downloaded and installed for free. These ZenPacks are built using an auto-build system which makes .egg files available to you for download. Unless otherwise noted, a ZenPack in this directory is a community ZenPack.

Core ZenPacks

These are ZenPacks developed by Zenoss, Inc. which are distributed with Zenoss Core in the "Zenoss Core ZenPacks" RPM. Typically, these are all installed when Zenoss is set up. Our auto-deploy script installs these for you automatically. A Core ZenPack will have a special note on its page to let you know that it is a core ZenPack.

Commercial ZenPacks

These are ZenPacks developed by Zenoss, Inc. which are available in our commercial products. They typically include advanced functionality or specialized device support required by enterprise users. A Commercial ZenPack will have a special note on its page to let you know that it is a commercial ZenPack.
