Installing Impact in Zendev

Note

This document is outdated. See this link for something more modern: https://github.com/zenoss/impact-server/wiki/Running-Impact-Server-in-development-mode-(5.x)

• Pull and tag latest impact image (Currently 121):

  # Note: Need to use an user that has docker privileges
  export IMPACT_IMAGE_TAG=4.2.6.70.0_130   # Warning: this tag changes!
  docker pull zenoss/impact-unstable:$IMPACT_IMAGE_TAG
  docker tag zenoss/impact-unstable:$IMPACT_IMAGE_TAG zenoss/impact-unstable:latest
  

• Deploy zenoss.core or resmgr: # Use whatever workflow you wish to add and deploy core/resmgr service

• Start services: It is best to start all services. If you prefer, this subset is the minimal that necessary for zenpack install:

  for svc in mysql rabbitmq /redis zencatalogservice zeneventserver ; \
    do serviced service start $svc ; done
  

• Install Impact ZenPacks:

  Note:

  • You must install them in link mode

  • You should not use the devshell environment (its broken): Instead use zope container: zendev attach zope Optionally (from zendev): zendev attach zope su - zenoss -c “zenpack –list”

  • *CRITICAL*: Make sure that ImpactServer and Impact zenpacks are on the develop branch. Zendev may put them on master by default.

  • Enterprise zenpacks are in /mnt/src/enterprise-zenpacks/, aka: $EZ:

    export EZ=/mnt/src/enterprise_zenpacks

  • Normal zenpacks are in /mnt/src/zenpacks/, aka: $ZP

    export ZP=/mnt/src/zenpacks

  The install now:

  zenpack --link --install $ZP/ZenPacks.zenoss.ZenJMX
  
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.DynamicView
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.AdvancedSearch
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.EnterpriseCollector
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.EnterpriseSkin
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.DistributedCollector
  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.ImpactServer
  

• Before you install the Impact zenpack, you MUST have ImpactServer running:

  serviced service start Impact
  

• Now you can finally install the Impact zenpack:

  zenpack --link --install $EZ/ZenPacks.zenoss.Impact
  

• Optionally install any zenpacks you are testing under Impact

• Restart zenoss:

  • serviced service stop zenoss.core
  • serviced service start zenoss.core
