We are very close to releasing our beta of Zenoss Core 2.2 with new point-and-click installers, and many new performance and scalability enhancements. Watch the Zenoss blog for beta announcements.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Zenoss for Service Providers</strong></p>
<p>Are you searching for that one IT Management Solution that really works for service providers? Zenoss for Service Providers includes multi-tenancy, high scalability, pay-as-you-grow pricing and flexible licensing, all designed for the unique requirements of services providers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zenoss.com/forms/xSPcmtyoffer" >Sign up by June 15th</a> and we will deliver two days of expert installation / configuration services free!</p>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Tip of the Month: Creating Property-Driven Thresholds</strong></p>
<p>Normally when you create a threshold, you have to choose the upper and/or lower limits. Sometimes you want these limits to vary considerably for different devices. It can be a lot of work to create many copies of the same template just so you can define different threshold values. However, there is a better way to solve this problem! (This tip was courtesy of Chet Luther a member of our client services team.)</p>

Zenoss discussed how we could improve systems management with other industry leaders including Alterpoint, BMC, and IBM. We also got to speak with users to better understand what you need to more effectively monitor your network. Our CTO Erik Dahl also <a href="http://blog.zenoss.com/2008/01/27/zenoss-cto-session-on-an-open-management-agent/" >led a discussion</a> on open agents.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>Hello Zenossians,</p>
<p>Welcome to the August edition of the Zenoss Newsletter. It&#8217;s summer in Annapolis, and that means it&#8217;s beach season. We hope you get a chance to enjoy yourself.  So take some time off and let Zenoss monitor your network while you relax.</p>
<p>Using Zenoss&#8217; sophisticated alerting you can send pages to the on-call operator while you are at the beach. Or you can choose to only get the alerts that really matter while your gone. (Our recommendation is to send them to someone else).</p>
<p>Without any further adieu, here&#8217;s the news that&#8217;s fit to print.</p>
<p><strong>Zenoss 2.0.4 is Available </strong></p>
<p>Zenoss Core Version 2.0.4 is primarily a maintenance release that addresses  many minor issues.</p>
<ul>
<li>Browser incompatibilities for both Firefox and IE 7</li>
<li>Correct alerting rules issues for users and administrators</li>
<li>Bug fixes and improvements in Zenperf, Zenevents, Zenmodel, and Zenhub</li>
</ul>
<p>For complete details read the release notes. You can download Zenoss Core  from <a href="http://crm.zenoss.com/%7Bdownload%7D" >www.zenoss.com/download/</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Zenoss Subscriptions and Training</strong></p>
<p>Zenoss Inc. provides a complete suite of software and services to help you succeed in monitoring your IT infrastructure. To find out about all our product offerings, including our subscriptions, please review our support <a href="http://crm.zenoss.com/%7Bproduct%7D" >matrix </a>for all your Zenoss  service needs.</p>
<p><strong>Zenoss Core Wins Enterprise Open Source Reader&#8217;s Choice  Award</strong></p>
<p>Zenoss is proud to have been awarded the Enterprise Open Source Magazine Reader&#8217;s Choice Award chosen above our peers by the reader&#8217;s of EOS Magazine. Anytime you receive praise from a group of users it is especially satisfying. Thanks to all of you who voted for us.</p>
<p><strong>Zenoss Tip: Running Commands from the Zenoss User Interface  </strong></p>
<p>Zenoss allows commands to be run though the user interface. Zenoss comes with several built in commands such as ping and traceroute. This way you can select and run these commands without exiting to a terminal window and also see the output of commonly used commands. Commands run from the Zenoss UI can be run on a single device or also on a grouping of devices. To do this:</p>
<ul>
<li>Navigate to the <strong>Device </strong>or <strong>Device Group  </strong>where you want to run the command (and where the command is defined).</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>From the Device page menu, select Run Commands and then the command name you  want to run.</li>
</ul>
<p>The command is run and the output appears on the screen.</p>
<p>You can even execute scripts and other commands remotely. You can also run additional commands via SSH or remotely through the Zenoss system.</p>
<p>To define custom commands, from the Settings menu on the left navigational menu, select Settings and then click the Commands tab. Here you can use Tales expressions to define new commands or edit existing commands.</p>
