ZenPacks.community.CitrixMonitor

About

This project is a Zenoss extension (ZenPack) that allows for monitoring of Citrix XEN Servers via commands sent over ssh. The plugin is derived from XenMonitor zenpack and depends on ZenossVirtualHostMonitor zenpack

Disclaimer

This is an "it worked on my machine" zenpack and, if you use it, you use it at your own peril. If you can try it in a development environment first I strongly advise it.

Features

The plugin adds a new device class named Citrix under Server > Virtual Machine Host and creates a list of guests for each monitored server.

Prerequisites

Prerequisite Restriction
ZenOSS 4.2 or higher
ZenPacks ZenPack.zenoss.Zenoss.ZenossVirtualHostMonitor 2.4.0 or higher
Monitored machines SSH keyed access to the monitored machines on a user that has access to run xe vm-list params command

Installation

There isn't any .egg file yet. To install it you will need to use the developer installation method. Do the following as the zenoss user:

cd /your/working/directory/of/choice
git clone git://github.com/alexandrud/ZenPacks.community.CitrixMonitor.git
zenpack --link --install ZenPacks.community.CitrixMonitor
zopectl restart

Configuration

Installing the ZenPack will add the following items to your Zenoss system.

  • Device Classes
    • /Server/Virtual Machine Host/Citrix
  • Modeler Plugins
    • community.cmd.Citrix

Usage

Add an Citrix Server

  1. Navigate to the Infrastructure page

  2. Go to Devices>Server>Virtual Host Machine>Citrix

  3. Click on the Add a single device / Add multiple devices

  4. Wait for the device to be modeled.

  5. Navigate to the new device.

    Note

    In the XenMonitor plugin documentation there was a note to add the device directly into the right container. Although I haven't tested it I think that applies here too.
