Installing the Enterprise-Ready Network Monitor Zenoss

“I recently wrote about Nagios, an enterprise-worthy network
monitor. For many, Nagios is all they need: It’s powerful,
flexible, and very reliable. However, for system administrators
working with larger networks and who need auto-detection of
devices, Zenoss shines as a serious enterprise-ready solution for
any size network.

“Of course this power comes at a cost. The cost? Complexity of
installation. Whereas Nagios is incredibly simple to get up and
running, Zenoss is not. In this article, I will show you how to
install Zenoss so you can get it ready to be your one and only
network monitoring tool. I will be demonstrating the installation
on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine. You can easily modify the process to fit
your distribution.”
