Thanks Shane, really appreciate that. I'll go research the python collector option now. Regarding the parallel instances of zencommand - I don't think I've succeeded in changing it. My zencommand.conf file shows this,
#PARAMETER VALUE
monitor localhost
parallel 15
but zencommand genconf shows this -
#
# Number of devices to collect at one
# time, default: 10
#parallel 10
#
running this - " zencommand start --parallel 15" from the CLI has no affect on what is generated by zencommand genconf.
Any ideas? Am I actually changing it at all? Or is it just not making a blind bit of difference to my overloaded zencommand daemon?
Thanks,
Joan
