Version 2.0

Backwards Incompatible Changes

  • Any installed ZenPacks using older versions of zenpacklib.py will continue to function unchanged.

  • Using version 2 is slightly different. The __init__.py file import statements should now contain the following:

    _init_.py

    from ZenPacks.zenoss.ZenPackLib import zenpacklib
CFG = zenpacklib.load_yaml()


# Startup time can be improved by specifying explicit path.
# CFG = zenpacklib.load_yaml([os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), “zenpack.yaml”)])

schema = CFG.zenpack_module.schema
