As far as Asterisk goes, I may have someone else working on a ZenPack for it, email me and I'll get you more information about it.

You are right, the guide is not much different at all from the Zenoss source install guide - infact thats basically what I followed when I created this. I just wanted to include any of the Gentoo-specifics. I actually could of sworn I had seen a Gentoo install guide on the zenoss.com site a couple months ago, but when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it again. At any rate, I am going to see what I can do about making an ebuild and I'll certainly let you know when I do. The real reason I made this guide though is that I do have some more Zenoss things I intend on posting... I'm also working on a ZenPack for monitoring Asterisk, and I wanted to be able to link back to this guide just to be able to be a little bit of a one-stop shop for people that happen to discover Zenoss by way of that future posting. Asterisk has a fairly large community, but information on its SNMP capabilities is somewhat scarce, so I'm hoping to help build a little bit of a bridge there and show how the 2 pieces of software can work together. Thanks for stopping by! -- Matt Hi Matt (nice name!)

If you do happen to work on the ebuild, please let me know and I'll try to help find Gentoo users to help test.

I've never created any ebuilds myself, just done a couple of small version bumps of some. I'll have to take a look at that Zenoss ebuild and see if I can update it. Donnie,
