Zenoss Core 2.1.71 (zenoss-2.2-sprint2)  Available for Download

2008/02/06

The latest packaged version of Zenoss Core, version  2.1.71 (zenoss-2.2-sprint2) is available for download. This release continues the 2.2 development cycle. 

This sprint release focuses on two main areas of Zenoss Core, ZenPacks and ZenHub consolidation.

With ZenPacks, we have moved to the python egg format which is the standard distribution mechanism for python packages.  The move to eggs gives us dependency management of ZenPacks.  For ZenPack authors, this is a good time to try porting your ZenPacks from their current zip form to the new egg form.  Jason has written up a document on how to perform the conversion process.  This document available from the Zenoss Core 2.2 Sprints page that details all of the 2.1.71 changes. Please give us feedback on any issues you discover while converting to the new format.

We have also migrated all collector daemons so that they talk though ZenHub.  In the current release, some daemons talked directly to databases and others though the hub.  The architecture will be easier to maintain now that everyone speaks though the hub.

When upgrading to 2.1.71, you can expect to get some hearbeat errors from zenmodeler, zensyslog and zentrap due to some programmatic changes. You can clear these heartbeats using the Clear heartbeats menu item in the event manager. You should only get these heartbeat errors once.

Zenoss Core 2.1.71 is available from the Zenoss Sprint page located at:
