Integrating Opengear ZenPack into Zenoss  Any Opengear console server with firmware V3.2 or later can be integrated with Zenoss.
Importing the Opengear ZenPacks ZenPack installation is explained in the Zenoss Core Administration Guide 13.2 Installing ZenPacks. Download both the ZenPacks.Opengear.MIBs and ZenPacks.Opengear.ConsoleServer ZenPacks from the Zenoss Community web site. The ZenPacks will be in Zip Archives initially and will need to be decompressed before beginning installation. 1. Open the Zenoss Web User Interface and navigate Management > Settings > ZenPacks. 
2. From the drop down menu select Install ZenPack. And navigate to the folder where you saved the downloaded ZenPacks to. 
3. Select ZenPacks.Opengear.MIBs.egg and click OK. 4. The ZenPack should install with no errors. 
5. Repeat steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 for ZenPacks.Opengear.ConsoleServer.egg. 
6. Once completed you should see both of the newly added ZenPacks in the table at Management > Settings > ZenPacks. 
7. It is recommended that Zenoss be restarted at this point. 
Adding an Opengear Device The enhanced monitoring provided by the Opengear ZenPacks uses a combination of SNMP and SSH communication. To add a new Opengear Device: 1. Navigate to Management > Add Device.
2. Fill in the Device Name with either the IP Address or DNS Name of the Opengear Device. 3. Select /Server/Console/Opengear from the Device Class Path menu. 
4. Ensure the SNMP Community matches the Opengear configuration. By default Zenoss will use SNMP v2c to monitor devices add as /Server/Console/Opengear, this can be changed later. 
5. Feel free to fill in other details such as the Location Path and the Systems details, then click Add Device. 
6. The Opengear Plugins will attempt to model the new device. Some errors may occur due to SNMP or SSH configuration, once the modeling has finished you can correct these. 
Configring SNMP and SSH If the Opengear device default configuration has been altered you will need to configure Zenoss to match. 1. Navigate to Main Views > Device List and click on the newly added Opengear Device name. 
2. Click on the device menu arrow the More > zProperties. 3. Provide the password for the administration user user as zCommandUsername and zCommandPassword, zCommandProtocol should be SSH. 
4. If you wish to use a different SNMP protocol version to monitor the Opengear make sure zSnmpVer is set to the desired version and other details such as zSnmpCommunity and zSnmpAuthPassword are set appropriately. Click Save when all the details are correct. 
5. After the SSH and SNMP details have been verified click on the menu arrow and select Manage > Model Device. The plugins will re-model the device and no errors should occur this time. 
Monitoring Serial Ports Serial Port status is available by navigating to the new Opengear page via the Device List then clicking on the Serial Ports tab. From here you can see the current configuration of each serial port on the device as well as up to date signal states. 
To view serial port performance history such as throughput and connection status click on the port name in the left most column. 
Monitoring RPCs To view the current state and configuration of RPCs navigate to Opengear device via the Device List and click on the RPCs tab. 
RPC alert information can be accessed by clicking on the RPC Name. Monitoring UPSs UPS details are available by clicking on the tab labeled UPSs. 
UPS performance history for Temperature, Battery Charge, Input, Output and Load can be viewed by clicking on the UPS Name. Monitoring EMDs To view the current configuration state of EMDs (Environmental Monitoring Devices) navigate to the Opengear device via the Device List and click on the EMDs tab. Monitoring Opengear Events The Opengear ZenPacks provide some interpretation of SNMP Notifications / Traps. First the Opengear device must be configured to forward SNMP Alerts to the Zenoss collector. If the Opengear is configured to generate SNMP events for such things as serial port signal changes, user connections / disconnections, or environmental events they will be interpreted and transformed into Zenoss events which can be viewed at Main Views > Event Console.
