ZenWin Installation

============================
ZENWIN INSTALL
============================

Zenwin does not work on Windows 2000.  It has been tested on XP and 
2003.

----------------------------
Download the necessary files
----------------------------

Download version 2.4.x of Python.
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.4.

Download and install pywin32.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32

-----------------------
Put python in your path
-----------------------

Having python in your path will make your life easier later on.
To do this, right click on My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced 
-> Enviroment Variables.  In enviroment variables under System 
Variables, edit the Path variable.  Add a semicolon at the end if 
there is none, followed by the path to the python executable file.  
Open a new cmd.exe window to refresh your environment.

----------------
Configure Zenwin
----------------

The following config files in etc need to be configured: 
zeneventlog.cfg, zenwin.cfg, zenwinmodeler.cfg.  The winurl 
needs to be set to the respective name of your Zenoss server, 
as does the zem.  You also need to put in the Zope username 
and password in these config files.

-----------------------------------
Test Zenwin and install as services
-----------------------------------

Before you install these programs as a Service try running them in 
the foreground from within the zenwin directory.

python zenwin.py -C etc\zenwin.cfg
python zeneventlog.py -C etc\zeneventlog.cfg
python zenwinmodeler.py -C etc\zenwinmodeler.cfg

Once the config files are set up, you need to install and start the 
services.  This is accomplished by the following three commands:
These services must be added to run a user with admin privledges.

zenwinsvc.py --username .\Administrator --password xyz install
zeneventlogsvc.py --username .\Administrator --password xyz install
zenwinmodelersvc.py --username .\Administrator --password xyz install

------------
Setup Zenoss
------------

Zenoss must now be configured to work with Zenwin.  Turn on 
zWinEventLog under /Devices/Server/Windows zProperties.  Add your 
Windows device into Zenoss and go to its zProperties.  Fill in the 
Administator User and password in the zWinUser and zWinPassword.  
Remodel the device by clicking the Manage tab and clicking Collect 
Configuration.

zenwinmodeler will model windows services on devices that have been 
modeled since it last polled the server.  Once you have a list of 
services monitoring can be enabled on the instance or class level.
