Background

This Zenpack was created by the need to monitor HP-UX 11.31 servers with Zenoss. Some HP-UX 11.31 servers have serious problems with the snmpd daemon, which in some cases reaches loads up to 90% of CPU. So that is the reason to make this Zenpack for every Unix administrator that have this problem.

This Zenpack will create:

  • New Organizer: Devices -> Server -> SSH -> HPUX
  • This Organizer will provide:
    • Template HPUXSSHMonitor
    • HPUX Filesystem Template
    • HPUXEthernet Template
    • Plugins: bdf, lanscan, memory, systemscan and zenoss.cmd.uname.
    • Additional plugins:model, uname_a are not necessary because systemscan do their job, but they are provided only for debug purposes.

CONFIGURATIONS:

  • After installing this Zenpack, restart zope, zenhub and zencommand: (with user zenoss)
    • zopectl restart; zenhub restart; zencommand restart
  • For security reason configure ssh key for zenoss account to your server.
    • On Zenoss server with zenoss account do: ssh-keygen, Press Enter to all
    • Go to .ssh
    • Copy the information contained in id_rsa.pub
    • Paste the information in the remote server's monitor user (for example root) in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
    • Test the trust connection without password from Zenoss server to the remote host (You don't have to be asked for password).
  • In Configuration Properties edit if is necessary:
    • zKeyPath
    • zCommandUsername
  • Add your Server.

RECOMENDATIONS

  • This Zenpack is recommended for HP-UX 11.31 but could be compatible with older versions 11.11 and 11.23
  • Change values in /opt/ssh/etc/sshd_config to:
    • MaxSessions 10
