Introduction to ZenPack Development
Summary
In this eight-hour class, you will learn how to develop and deploy complex customizations to Zenoss through ZenPacks, Zenoss’s extension framework. Through a series of progressive, hands-on exercises, each student will build a new ZenPack that models and monitors a custom device type and includes updates to the Zenoss user interface.
Description
This course is intended for users who want to extend the functionality of their Zenoss deployment through the use of ZenPacks. Targeted at students who are unable to travel to Zenoss headquarters in Austin, Texas to take the full two-day class, this class is delivered remotely and offered in US morning hours or EU afternoon hours. Students who do well are programmers (Linux/Windows), or system / network administrators working in a DevOps environment.
Instruction is delivered online by a Zenoss developer. Each student is provided with a dedicated Zenoss training instance and is tasked with creating a new ZenPack under instructor guidance. The class is delivered over two days. See the schedule below for times and dates.
