Announcement

Zenoss Core and Plugins Version 1.0.2 Available

2006/12/12

Greetings Zenoss Community,

The latest packaged version of Zenoss, Version 1.0.2, is available for download.

IMPORTANT README BEFORE UPGRADING!!!!

The most important fix in this release solves an issue with upgrading RPMs. Please follow the directions below when upgrading your RPMs. Failure to do so will cause the loss of your $ZENHOME directory. This bug was found in Zenoss RPMs that affects the following versions:

• 0.23
• 1.0.0
• 1.0.1

RPM Upgrade Procedure

If you are upgrading from any of the above version you must use the following installation procedure. If you do not follow this procedure and install the 1.0.2 RPM with just the -U flag your Zenoss installation will be corrupted and you will lose your device list. To upgrade from any previous RPM installation, you must use the following commands (run as root):

  # rpm --nopostun --nopreun -Uvh zenoss-1.0.2-0.i386.rpm
  # rm /opt/zenoss/.installed

Please note that future versions of Zenoss will not require you to pass the --nopostun and --nopreun options to rpm as a result of us fixing the packaging bug.

Other fixes included in 1.0.2 include:

• zenmodeler wouldn't run when in daemon mode.
• Report objects didn't save properly after modification.
• Uptime and other RRD summary values displayed Unknown if using python 2.3.x.
• When no SNMP community was found during reset an error was thrown.
• Thresholds wouldn't fire if value == the threshold value.
• Lowered the number of parallel collections on zencommand so that we don't run out of file descriptors.
• Handle missing Unknown manufacturer object.
• Sendpage on VMWare appliance was missing some perl modules.
• When switching between tables filter would persist zeroing out table list.
