Zenoss Core 2.2

Stack Installers, ZenPack Improvements and More

Zenoss Core 2.2 adds many new "under-the-hood" improvements to the already extensive network management and monitoring features of previous releases. In addition to the hundreds of fixes and improvements since the 2.1 release last October, Zenoss Core 2.2 also adds support for new complete Stack installers, a new ZenPack management system and new Core ZenPacks for monitoring even more network protocols. The Zenoss Core 2.2 is one our most thoroughly tested and hardened releases, and provides a powerful, affordable and integrated IT management solution.

New features in Zenoss Core 2.2 include:
