Monitor Apache 2.2 with Zenoss on Debian

The packaged Zenoss for Debain will monitor httpd out of the box but does not look for the apache2 process.

To monitor Apache 2.2, you need to add a similar Processes class as httpd has. Navigate to Processes>Apache and then select Add process. Type apache2 as an ID (it's just a unique identifier) and select OK.

Under the Edit tab, type apache2 for the Name and ^.*\/*apache2 as the RegEx. That should be all you need.

To start monitoring a device, just remodel it manually or wait for a day or so for remodelling to happen on all your devices for Apache 2.2 to start to be monitored.

Thanks man, works great!

Hopefully there is a trac ticket on this so that they get this fixed in 3.0

Cheers!
