adding a instance result in a failure about zenpacks.zenoss.cloudfoundry

[cluther]

I don't know what that float() error is, but above that I think the problem is that there's already a device in the system called 172.26.167.181 that is being managed by the same IP address. Zenoss is preventing you from adding the CloudFoundry instance because api.cloud.eden.klm.com resolves to that same IP.

Can you try removing the 172.26.167.181 device and adding the CloudFoundry again?

when i removed the device and added the cloudfoundry account it worked :)

but i tried to add another account and it told me that i cannot add another instance with the same ip
so this means we can only check one account?

This is Zenoss trying to be helpful and prevent us from adding the same device twice. Unfortunately it's quite unhelpful in this scenario. However, you may be able to workaround this on the back-end to monitor multiple accounts.

1. Add the first account through the web interface as you've already done

2. SSH into your Zenoss server

3. Switch to the zenoss user: su - zenoss

4. Run zendmd to enter the interactive shell

5. Add further CloudFoundry accounts by running as many of the following as needed..

   acct1 = dmd.Devices.CloudFoundry.createInstance('name_of_acct1')
   acct1.setManageIp('x.x.x.x')
   acct1.setPerformanceMonitor('localhost')
   acct1.setZenProperty('zCloudFoundryTarget', 'http://api.vcap.me')
   acct1.setZenProperty('zCloudFoundryEmail', '[email protected]')
   acct1.setZenProperty('zCloudFoundryPassword', 'mypassword')
   commit()

Zenoss won't check for duplicate IP addresses through this back-end way of adding devices.
