tzel,
Pretty easy process, just need to tell zenoss which daemons you want running:
# Create the following blank file to tell Zenoss you're controlling
touch $ZENHOME/etc/DAEMONS_TXT_ONLY
# Specify the daemons that you do want started in the daemons.txt file
$ZENHOME/etc/daemons.txt
zeoctl
zopectl
zenhub
zenping
zensyslog
zenstatus
zenactions
zentrap
zenmodeler
zenperfsnmp
zencommand
zenprocess
This is just an example, would probably run a zenoss status and put every daemon you have in that output in your daemons.txt except for zenmodeler.
