Integrating Opengear console servers into Zenoss monitoring
Zenoss Enterprise is a next generation, Unlegacy IT
management product that improves the monitoring of
service to business applications and supporting
infrastructure in the dynamic datacenter. Opengear has
partnered with Zenoss to extend monitoring capability to
previously undetected devices and integrate a vital layer of
Out-Of-Band access methods to remote sites.
Opengear has partnered with Zenoss to extend the
monitoring capability to previously undetected devices and
include a vital layer of Out-Of-Band access to remote sites.
Opengear console servers provide connectivity to devices
not currently network or SNMP enabled. We deliver remote
site access to serial console ports, digital I/O devices,
environmental sensors and TCP/UDP hosts.
Key Benefits:
• Enabling Zenoss customers to actively monitor all the network devices, power equipment, and
environmental conditions at their remote sites
• Monitoring previously undetected devices: RS232, RS422, RS485, USB, digital I/O
• Providing point-n-click access to the remote site from within Zenoss screens
• Ensuring high availability with integrated Out-Of-Band access
• Expand monitoring to new markets: Grid, Utility, Pipeline, Medical, Military, Industrial and more
Extend polling to simple devices at remote sites
Our console servers allow for easy integration by handling all of the connectivity and
conversion issues at the remote site and present the status and alerts over IP via
SNMP. For example, our design allows UPS and PDU systems that do not have
SNMP capability to be actively monitored and managed via serial console. Our
devices are vendor agnostic which allows previously un-monitored UPS and PDU
systems to be easily integrated into Zenoss. You can now trigger alerts on battery,
load, input/output on UPS systems and harness switched and metered PDU's via
serial interface.
Opengear enables Zenoss customers to extend monitoring to new markets such as:
• Smart Grid
• Solar Panel Monitoring
• Medical
• Cellular to wireless locations
• Gaming Machines
• Utilities
• And much more…
Integrate point-n-click access into Zenoss Monitoring
Opengear's console servers and Zenoss communicate using Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), management information bases (MIB), and traps (asynchronous alerts). This
gives customers the capability to quickly respond to events at the edge, ensuring optimal
reliability and performance. Opengear console servers provide encrypted authenticated access
that meets the most demanding high security applications.
In addition, our console servers provide secure Out-Of-Band access using modems and cellular
network connections. Opengear console servers can be accessed quickly from within the Zenoss
UI by simply clicking the embedded Opengear logo for the associated downstream console
server.
Easy Integration
Setup takes only
minutes and offers a
customized selection to
display for each remote
console server.
