Hi James,
I'm using version 3.2.1. Adding a new monitor with the hostname of the existing box makes the new collector appear, but despite adding devices to it, nothing ever happens to them.They're no longer monitored by local host, but no collections are made by the "new" collector. At this point I have two collectors, localhost and actualhostname.com. That doesn't work, so I delete that collector and restart.
Then I installed ZenPacks.community.DistributedCollector, in case 3.2.1 is lacking something. This gave no errors during install, gives more options when I click on the gear, but the end result is the same. When I went to remove this zenpack, it told me it wasn't installed. So it's not installing properly but without any helpful errors.. I can only remove this from the GUI. I of course restart zenoss between each install/uninstall.
Any ideas? Thanks so much.
Regards,
Joan
