9. Install Zenoss Core – Small Footprint
You will need:
• VM or server with 4gb of ram (for up to 100 devices)
• Minimal Install of Centos 64bit (Ubuntu support coming)
• Community Script:
• http://wiki.zenoss.org/Install_Zenoss#auto-deploy_Installation
• Untar the script and run it as root
• Takes about half an hour
• Takes 3-6 weeks on hotel wifi!
(I highly recommend a good beer while waiting)

Editor's Notes “We needed monitoring”A realization which occurs after the need and not beforeQuick and dirty solution, Nagios, OpenNMS, ZabbixetcOften bolted onto a legacy NMS like Tivoli “It doesn’t monitor this new thing we got”A second, or third, or fourth NMS is added to the network to monitor hardware which isn’t supportedNMS’s monitoring NMS’s in case of outageCritical failures missed
