Chapter 3. Adding a collector

This chapter describes how to add a local or remote collector to Resource Manager.

Adding local collectors to the Resource Manager master host is useful when the master host is not resource-constrained,

and you would like to simplify the administration of many devices of the same type, or devices of different types with

different collection cycles.

Adding remote collectors is useful when the master host is resource-constrained, and in the following types (or com-

binations) of environments:

• large environments (many devices)

• dense environments (devices with many components)

• distributed environments (devices are far apart, geographically or topologically)

For more information about remote collectors, refer to the chapter titled "Distributed Collector" in Zenoss Service

Dynamics Extended Monitoring.

Note

Whether local or remote, the Resource Manager master host needs an additional 500 MB of memory to

efficiently manage each additional collector.

3.1. Adding a local collector

Follow these steps to deploy a local collector.

1. Log in to the Resource Manager browser interface as a user with ZenManager or Manager permissions.

2. Click Advanced > Collectors.

The browser displays the deployed hubs and collectors.

3. Select the localhost hub.

4. From the action menu next to Zenoss Collectors, select Add Collector....

The Add Collector page displays.

5. Select Install locally.

6. Enter a logical name for the collector in the Collector ID field.

The name is used as the prefix of the collector's daemons on the master host. For example, if the name is routers,

then the SNMP monitoring daemon is routers_zenperfsnmp.

7. Click Add Collector.

Resource Manager submits the "Add collector" job to the jobs queue. Upon completion, the browser updates the

Advanced > Collectors page with an entry for the new collector.

3.2. Adding a remote collector

Resource Manager provides 3 optons for adding collector hosts, to support different security scenarios. The following

table associates the security scenarios with the names of the options.
