We wish to modify certain properties of Devices configured in Zenoss. Easy and reliable way of doing would be to use zendmd console with a small script
Getting into zendmd console :
On Zenoss Master Server , run following command as zenoss user .
$ zenoss-master-server > zendmd
To find the device path , run following command
Parameter can be Ip address or Device titile in Zenoss.
>>>d = find=("Parameter")
>>>d
Output of above command would look like below :
<Device at /zport/dmd/Devices/XYYZ/XXX/YYY/devices/device-id>
To fetch the property of device :
>>>d.id >>>d.title
Script to modify the properties would look like :
for dev in dmd.Devices.XYYZ.XXX.getSubDevices(): if dev.id =="current value or paramter used in previously" dev.renameDevice("Desired-name")
Harmless Error : At times , we might see an error when tried above command . You can ignore and go ahead with verification of changes made.
ERROR Zope.ZCatalog uncatalogObject unsuccessfully attempted to uncatalog an object with a uid of <Device at XXX.XXX.XXX.XX>.
To know more function same as renameDevice() please have a look at Device.py file available under
$ZENHOME/Products/ZenModel
