Extended Monitoring Guide

Navigate to the device in the Zenoss interface.

From the page menu, select More → Templates.

From the table menu, select Bind Templates to display the Bind Performance Templates dialog.

To add the NNTPMonitor template and retain other performance templates, hold down the control key while clicking on the NNTPMonitor entry.

Click OK.

The NNTPMonitor template should now be displayed under the Performance Templates for Device.

Click on the NNTPMonitor template and change options as needed.

Validate your configuration by running zencommand and observing that the check_nntp or check_nntps command correctly connects to your NNTP server:

zencommand run -v10 -d yourdevicenamehere

Navigate to the Perf tab and you should see some placeholders for graphs. After approximately fifteen minutes you should see the graphs start to become populated with information.
