i was planning on monitoring the prod zenoss instances from our "monitoring-monitoring system"

when i install the snmp module, should I add the required libraries to the os-built in python instance or the zenoss python instance? im assuming we use the os instance but wanted to be sure.

zenoss-snmp-module will be executed by snmpd, so it will use the system Python.

I would recommend using "sudo easy_install -U zenoss-snmp-module" to install with all dependencies into the root user's Python environment. This is what's described in the following documentation.

ah thats what i assumed, yeah i did (for a chagne) read the documentation and on my dev centos 5.8 distribution it choked so i updated the base python to 2.7x and tried again but the rrdtool dependency didnt work. so then i tried to manually install the python rrd tool kit and it choked on those graphics libraries and that was just too much failure for me on a friday so before i went to fix that those dependency libraries I figured i'd ask to be sure it should be on the base os python.

thanks.

That does sound like a hard road. I've only installed it on CentOS 6 so far.
