[zenoss-zenpacks] WindowsWMIDeviceTemplate ZenPack v2.0 has been published

[ejulson]

Changes to the Zenpack from the previous version:

• CPU information is now gathered from the native SNMP service without the need for the SNMP Informant product.  This was changed to SNMP from WMI due to WMI providing very spiky results.  This script supports Windows machines with single or multiple CPU's.

• Disk Queue and Paging graphs now use a more accurate WMI class.
  
• All scripts were rewritten in Perl and now parse the results more effectively.

• Several preconfigured Multi-Graph Reports have been added.

• Improved how arguments are passed to the scripts to allow for complex passwords and domain based authentication.

• Switched from using the device name to using the managed IP to avoid any DNS lookup issues.


Note:  This version of the Zenpack will not upgrade the old version. It will install a new instance side by side with the old version due to incompatibilities with the RRD files from the old version.
