I'm trying out Zenoss. I got it to monitor a test machine via SNMP - that was easy enough.

Now I want to add another server that is remote, and I want to use the SSH plugin.

I've been using this guide, but it skips a few steps for non-RedHat systems. I'm on Ubuntu.

The steps I have down so far are:

Install alien
Convert the .rpm to a .deb file
Use dpkg to install teh .deb file

My issue: where to get the .rpm file in the first place?
