8. Debugging the Modeling Process

You can run the Zenoss modeler from the command line against a single device. This feature is useful when debugging issues with a plugin.

By passing the --collect command to the modeler, you can control which modeler plugins Zenoss uses. For example, the following command runs only the interface plugin against the build.zenoss.loc device:

$ zenmodeler run -v 10 --collect=IpInterface -d build.zenoss.loc

If the command returns any stack traces, Zenoss recommends that you forward these details to Support for assistance:

  • Command you ran

  • Stack trace or stack traces returned

  • Version of your Zenoss instance

  • OS version and patch level for the remote device
