What are the Zenoss Plugins (zenplugins)?
Zenoss Plugins consist of a collection of platform specific python libraries used by the zenplugin.py script to gather performance information on a local computer. Using an SSH enabled Command collector Zenoss can securely monitor remote servers without requiring the system administrator to install and expose an SNMP agent. For more information, including how to download and install, see the ZenossPlugins HowTo.
