The script below I created to sync up Zenoss with the Citrix Netscalers. What this will do essentially is make sure that all of our devices in Zenoss are in the correct Systems in Zenoss. So for instance lets say we have a cluster called Foo-Cluster and we have 100 devices that are in that cluster as per the netscaler. This script will move those 100 devices into that System aka {Cluster} in Zenoss.

The reason this is so important is that when you update the Citrix Netscaler you will also have to update Zenoss, but if you run this script in cron then you will not have to update Zenoss at all. This script was written in Python This script was tested with Zenoss 2.0.2, Also some modifications may have to be made to fit your environment.

Please post any questions to this script here http://linuxdynasty.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3
You can download the script here  ... zenoss_netscaler_snmp.py

For those Zenoss users out there, this script will send a emailof devices that are in the discovered class.

So once you receive this email you will know that you need to move those devices into there appropriate classes.
