You don’t need to program a thing to write a Zenpack.

Here’s a quick tutorial on how to export a Zenpack from your existing Zenoss instance. In ten minutes time you can export a Zenpack and then share it with other users. It could be a monitor for Oracle or your NetApp filer or something else that you have set up under Zenoss already. The key is to start sharing your experience with other Zenoss users and have them do the same so it’s easier bring applications and hardware under management.
Now for the fabulous prizes, for the first ten people who create a Zenpack I am offering a limited edition, black Zenoss Golf Shirt. Take my word for it they are very nice. If I get 20 Zenpacks in the next 30 days, I will institute the mystery prize, something very cool yet to be decided. To win I will draw from the names of all Zenpack contributors.

Zenoss Core running on Ubuntu to create a complete open source network management stack. It’s good for us to see because as much as I wish that Zenoss Core met their needs to accomplish all of this on it’s own, but it’s nice to see that you can combine other open source solutions to create a solution that’s appealing to small companies and large companies like those that belong to the Fortune 1000.
