Troubleshooting / Ongoing Issues with Zenoss Cloud
Troubleshooting Zenoss Cloud
Since migrating to the new Cloud service, many are reporting various new alerts that were not previously seen on-prem. Understand there has been a jump in multiple releases of Zenoss, as well as the fact that Cloud is set up to model a much wider set of metrics for both Windows and Linux devices which means there are many things now being monitored by default that were not previously.

USERS EXPERIENCING ERRORS WHEN CLICKING EVENT DETAIL LINK IN ALERT EMAILSUsers report links sent by alert emails not working correctly when clicked, showing errors in Zenoss Cloud. It's a known bug that affects web-based emails clients, O365 in particular. No known workaround is yet known by the vendor -- users using web mail clients are advised to log in directly to Zenoss Cloud to view the errors. |

WORKAROUND FOR DISK SPACE BUGDiscovered by and workaround submitted to Zenoss by Mic. This is the infamous 1000000% disk space full alert found even before on-prem and is not considered related to the other issues. Mic's findings have been included into the Zenoss internal JIRA.

SSH Collector Key Fails with RHEL 9In the process of testing SSH-based monitoring, it was discovered that the public key worked fine with RHEL 7/8 hosts, but not RHEL 9. THis is because RHEL 9 uses a stricter security stance than older versions. |

WinRS Not EncryptedRHEL 5, which originally hosted the original on-Prem instance of Zenoss, had issues communicating using the default Kerberos encryption in WinRM. At the time the workaround was to use encrypted https, which would have been difficult to maange for individual hosts, prompting an ISO-sanctioned decision to run unencrypted, and out standard GPO for setting up Zenoss for Windows turns off encryption. |

Missed Runs /SNMP issues on Linux devices
A large number of missed runs on Linux hosts were discovered by the Monitoring Team and reported Feb 2 to Zenoss. Several SNMP errors not previously seen are also being reported and are thought to be related. A "snmptroubleshoot" shortcut under "Commands" on the device detail page allows users and Zenoss techs to troubleshoot SNMP issues. Doing so runs a specific SNMPv3 command that should respond quickly without timeouts. We have yet to have one show any issues with our SNMP config which was the first suspicion by Zenoss.Zenoss is pointing to specific SNMP timeouts on a few key IAM devices, but we aren't convinced it isn't related to the back-end configuration issues. |

Issues with device transforms / recreating on-prem behavior in Cloud
This issue was first seen as device transforms that previously worked on-prem not working correctly in Cloud. This includes the format of alert messages, thresholds, and downgrading some things to warnings. Scope has been widened to look at all aspects of the on-prem configuration to determine why it is not working correctly in Cloud. On Feb 17, the vendor asked to collect customized thresholds and transforms from our TEST on-prem instance. After allowed them to do so and they attempted to apply some of these changes without informing us, resulting in the instance going down for several hours. That circumstance has now been added to the scope of this ticket. |
