== Installation ==

−
=== Normal Installation (packaged egg) ===
 
−
 
−
Copy the downloaded .egg to your Zenoss server and run the following commands as the zenoss user:
 
−
 
−
<pre>zenpack --install &lt;package.egg&gt;
 
−
zenoss restart</pre>
 
−
If you don't want to do a full restart, you should be able to just restart zenhub and zopectl:
 
−
 
−
<pre>zenhub restart &amp;&amp;  zopectl restart</pre>
 
−
=== Developer Installation (link mode) ===
 
−
 
−
If you wish to further develop and possibly contribute back to the f5 ZenPack you should clone the git repository, then install the ZenPack in developer mode using the following commands:
 
−
 
−
<pre>git clone git://github.com/ZCA/ZenPacks.community.f5.git
 
−
zenpack --link --install ZenPacks.community.f5
 
−
zenoss restart</pre>
 
−
== Change History ==
 
−
 
−
* 0.82
 
−
** Initial Release
 
−
* 1.0
 
−
** Improved device detection. Should have no more &quot;deprecated&quot; values for hardware model
 
−
** Minor updates to support segrated github repos and README.markdown
 
−
** Including zenoss.snmp.DeviceMap &amp; zenoss.snmp.NewDeviceMap plugins on the newly created device class so that the base SNMP attributes are collected
 
−
* 1.1
 
−
** Some additional tweaks for better Viprion detection
 
−
** 1.2
 
−
** Pool &amp; Node Component Modeling Added
 
−
** Component Detail Grids update to show more relevant columns for each of the modeled component types.
 
−
* 1.3
 
−
** Added some code to the install method so that it rebuilds device relationships on install. This this seems be at the root of folks needing to delete/re-add devices to get components show up
 
−
* 1.4
 
−
** Added the pool and node component templates that had been omitted from previous pack exports
 
−
** minor tweaks to logging during installation time
 
−
** some code cleanup to remove some unnecessary items that got added along the way
 
−
* 1.5
 
−
** No actual code changes, just template changes. Replaced CFUNC of MAX with AVERAGE on all the graph defs based on some feedback on the forums as well as additional testing
 
−
* 1.6
 
−
** Added support for [http://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/353/v10--A-Look-at-Route-Domains.aspx Route Domains]
 
−
** Cleanup and standardization of columns in the various component grids
 
−
 
−
== Known Issues ==
 
−
 
−
* Currently the status of the virtual server component is only detected and set at model time. Its not a real time (or near real time) reflection of the state of the virtual server on the LTM
