9. Using Zenoss with a Remote MySQL Instance

If you are interested in using a remote MySQL database for Zenoss, set it up the same way you would set it up if you were using a native database. Then log into the management console.

  1. First change the database address for the Backend Type for the mysql database.

    From the Zenoss Dashboard, in the Navigational menu, select Event Manager.

    The ZenEventManager page appears.

  2. Change the Hostname field to the address of the MySQL database you want to use.

  3. Restart Zenoss.

    The MySQL database you entered is now the default database.
