It’s been screentastic over here of late: today I have a two part screen cast walking through several sections and usage scenarios for Zenoss. Erik Dahl and Brandon Whichard were the guests and narrators.
As with all screencases, be sure to click the full-screen icon if you’d like to see a larger version.
Erik starts us out by going over the dashboard and portlets page, which allows us to start dipping into the model and overall functionality that Zenoss provides:
We then finish out by going over the network topology that Zenoss discovery can find and then illustrate, taking a look at the detailed information available for devices monitored, performance graphs and checking, and finish up going over the reporting options Zenoss provides:

A few weeks ago I talked with Steve Wilson about the (then upcoming) Sun xVM Server, Sun’s hypervisor and virtualization management stack.
In the first part, Steve gives us an overview of xVM Server, talks about usage scenarios and getting started with xVM Server, and then how it fits in to Sun’s virtualization portfolio:
In the second part, Steve demo’s xVM Server, showing us the embedded web-based console, browsing libraries of virtual machines, creating a new guest, and looking at activity logs for auditing and other needs. Check out the interesting commentary towards the end about how much ATOM is used in the xVM world:
For even more detail, check out one of Steve’s recent posts on the Sun xVM Server early access program.
