Table 5.3. Add New Collector Fields
Note
If you are creating another collector on the server, enter the localhost rather than the IP address of the
server.
4. Click Add Collector. The system displays log output from the creation of the new collector. When fully con-
figured (this may require several minutes), the system displays the final entry "navigate to CollectorName."
Click the link to go to the overview page for the new collector.
5.1.2.5.3. Resource Manager SSH Keys
If you choose to set up a collector using Resource Manager SSH keys, the system will attempt to install by using
the zenoss user. To successfully install a collector using these keys (without root access), these prerequisite
conditions must be met:
• zenoss user SSH keys must be set up between the Resource Manager server and the target.
• You must be running the RPM distribution.
• Resource Manager core RPM must be installed on the target (remote) machine.
Tip: When installing the RPM on the remote machine, do not start the system.
Follow these steps to install a remote collector, using Resource Manager SSH keys for access to the remote host.
Note
For detailed steps for creating SSH keys, see the section titled "Setting Up SSH Keys for Distributed Collector."
1. Select the Install remotely option.
2. Select the zenoss SSH Keys option.
