Warning

The ZenPack Catalog has moved to its new home at https://www.zenoss.com/product/zenpacks as of January 17, 2017. The following information may be out of date, and this page will eventually be removed.

Support

This ZenPack is developed by the Zenoss user community and supported via our online forums. Zenoss, Inc. does not provide direct support for this ZenPack.

Background

This ZenPack is not standard Zenpack Install&Use. It provides only example code to mirror Zenoss data into another (monitoring) systems. It's monkey patch for Products.ZenRRD.RRDUtil.RRDUtil.put() method, so you have to be 100% sure about your ZenPack code. Mirror tasks are executed in new threads and they don't block Zenoss RRDUtil code. It depends on your requirements, but probably you will need to implement some performance improvements (persistent connections/connection pool/...) for serious production service. Keep in mind also concurrency and timeouts problems in your code.

Example codes are provided for mirroring to:

   Carbon (Graphite)/Dataloop/InfluxDB
   Horizon (Skyline)
   OpenTSDB
   collectd
   Zabbix
   MySQL/MariaDB
   file
