The ZenPacks.zenoss python module
This ZenPack provides support for monitoring Amazon Web Services (AWS). Monitoring for the following EC2 entities is provided through a combination of the AWS EC2 and CloudWatch APIs. Features The features added by this ZenPack can be summarized as follows. They are each detailed further below. Discovery of EC2 entities. Monitoring of CloudWatch metrics. Optional auto-discovery and monitoring of instance guest operating systems. Optional service impact with addition of Zenoss Service Dynamic product. Discovery The following entities will be automatically discovered through an account name, access key and secret key you provide. The attributes, tags and collections will be updated on Zenoss' normal remodeling interval which defaults to every 12 hours. Regions Attributes: ID Collections: VPCs, Subnets, Zones, Instances, Volumes Zones Attributes: ID, Region, State Collections: Instances, Volumes, Subnets VPCs Attributes: ID, Region, CIDR Block Tags: Name, Collector Collections: Subnets, Instances Subnets Attributes: ID, Region, VPC, Zone, State, CIDR Block, Available IP Address Count, Zone Default, Auto-Public IP Tags: Name Collections: Instances Instances Attributes: ID, Region, VPC, Zone, Subnet, State, Instance Type, Image ID, Platform, Public DNS Name, Private IP Address, Launch Time, Guest Device Tags: Name Collections: Volumes Other: Guest Device (if monitored by Zenoss) Volumes Attributes: ID, Region, Zone, Instance, Type Created Time, Size, IOPS, Status, Attach Data Status, Attach Data Device Tags: Name Monitoring The following metrics will be collected every 5 minutes by default. Any other CloudWatch metrics can also be collected by adding them to the appropriate monitoring template. The Average statistic is collected, and the graphed value is per second for anything that resembles a rate. Regions Metrics: CPUUtilization, DiskReadOps, DiskWriteOps, DiskReadBytes, DiskWriteBytes, NetworkIn, NetworkOut Instances Metrics: CPUUtilization, DiskReadOps, DiskWriteOps, DiskReadBytes, DiskWriteBytes, NetworkIn, NetworkOut, StatusCheckFailed_Instance, StatusCheckFailed_System Volumes Metrics: VolumeReadBytes, VolumeWriteBytes, VolumeReadOps, VolumeWriteOps, VolumeTotalReadTime, VolumeTotalWriteTime, VolumeIdleTime, VolumeQueueLength Provisioned IOPS Metrics: VolumeThroughputPercentage, VolumeReadWriteOps The Amazon CloudWatch datasource type also allows for the collection of any other CloudWatch metric. Guest Device Discovery You can optionally configure each monitored AWS account to attempt to discover and monitor the guest Linux or Windows operating systems running within each EC2 instance. This requires that your Zenoss system has the network and server access it needs to monitor the guest operating system. VPC and non-VPC modes are supported. The guest operating system devices' life-cycle are managed along with the instance. For example, the guest operating system device is set to a decommissioned production state when the EC2 instance is stopped, and the guest operating system device is deleted when the EC2 instance is destroyed. Service Impact When combined with the Zenoss Service Dynamics product, this ZenPack adds built-in service impact capability for services running on AWS. The following service impact relationships are automatically added. These will be included in any services that contain one or more of the explicitly mentioned entities. Service Impact Relationships Account access failure impacts all regions. Region failure affects all VPCs and zones in affected region. VPC failure affects all related subnets. Zone failure affects all related subnets, instances and volumes. Subnet failure affects all instances on affected subnet. Volume failure affects any attached instance. Instance failure affects the guest operating system device. Usage Adding AWS Accounts Use the following steps to start monitoring EC2 using the Zenoss web interface. Navigate to the Infrastructure page. Choose Add EC2 Account from the add device button. Enter your AWS account name, access key and secret key. Optionally choose a collector other than the default localhost. Click Add. Alternatively you can use zenbatchload to add accounts from the command line. To do this, you must create a file with contents similar to the following. Replace all values in angle brackets with your values minus the brackets. Multiple accounts can be added under the same /Device/AWS/EC2 section. /Devices/AWS/EC2 loader='ec2account', loader_arg_keys=['accountname', 'accesskey', 'secretkey', 'collector'] <accountname> accountname='<accountname>', accesskey='<accesskey>', secretkey='<secretkey>', collector='<collector>' You can then load the account(s) with the following command. $ zenbatchload <filename> Configuring Guest Device Discovery Use the following steps to configure instance guest device discovery. Guest device discovery must be configured individually for each EC2 account. Navigate to one of the EC2 accounts. Click the edit link beside Device Class for Discovered Linux Instances Choose the device class for Linux and/or Windows instances. Verify that appropriate SSH, SNMP or Windows credentials are configured for the chosen device class(es). Remodel the EC2 account by choosing Model Device from its menu. If your instances are VPC instances, and are in a different VPC than the Zenoss server that's monitoring the EC2 account, you must add a Collector tag to containing VPC with the value set to the name of the Zenoss collector to which discovered guest devices should be assigned. Installed Items Installing this ZenPack will add the following items to your Zenoss system. Device Classes /AWS /AWS/EC2 Modeler Plugins aws.EC2 Datasource Types Amazon CloudWatch Monitoring Templates EC2Region (in /AWS/EC2) EC2Instance (in /AWS/EC2) EC2Instance-Detailed (in /AWS/EC2) EC2Volume (in /AWS/EC2) EC2Volume-IOPS (in /AWS/EC2) Device Types EC2Account (in /AWS/EC2) Component Types EC2Region (on EC2Account) EC2VPC (on EC2Region) EC2VPCSubnet (on EC2Region) EC2Zone (on EC2Region) EC2Instance (on EC2Region) EC2Volume (on EC2Region)
ApacheMonitor ------------- ApacheMonitor provides a method for pulling performance metrics from the Apache HTTP Server (http://httpd.apache.org/) directly into Zenoss without requiring the use of an agent. This is accomplished by utilizing the standard mod_status module that comes with version 1 and 2 of the HTTP server. The following metrics will be collected and graphed for the Apache HTTP Server. * Requests per Second * Throughput (Bytes/sec & Bytes/request) * CPU Utilization of the HTTP server and all worker processes/threads * Slot Usage (Open, Waiting, Reading Request, Sending Reply, Keep-Alive, DNS Lookup and Logging) Follow these steps to setup your HTTP server so that it will allow Zenoss to access the server status. 1. On the Apache server, find your httpd.conf file. This is normally located in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf or /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Other locations are possible depending on your operating system and setup. 2. Turn the ExtendedStatus option on in the httpd.conf file. This option will typically be commented out. You can enable it by uncommenting it. ... becomes ... ExtendedStatus on 3. Enable the /server-status location in the httpd.conf file. This is another option that typically already exists but is commented out. ... becomes ... <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from zenoss.yourdomain.com </Location> 4. Save the httpd.conf file with these changes then restart httpd. This can normally be accomplished with following command. apachectl restart Once your Apache HTTP Server is configured to allow Zenoss to access the extended status, you can add Apache monitoring to the device within Zenoss by simply binding the Apache template to the device. 1. Navigate to the device in the Zenoss web interface. 2. Click the device menu, choose More then Templates. 3. Click the templates menu, choose Bind Templates. 4. Ctrl-click the Apache template from /Devices/Server to choose it. 5. Click OK. You will now be collecting the Apache HTTP Server metrics from this device.
DellMonitor provides custom modeling of devices running the Dell OpenManage agents. It also contains hardware identification for Dell proprietary hardware. The information is collected through the SNMP interface.
