Zenoss ZopeDB Access

So, I'm sort of tangentially in charge of our Zenoss monitoring system, and on and off over the past couple of years I've derided the fact that Zenoss decided to store the important information about objects in a Zope database, and I couldn't figure out how to query it without writing Python to interact with it programatically.  Today, I guess I stumbled across the right set of search terms for Google to spit out something genuinely useful: zendmd.  I'm not going to get in to how to use it, as there is some at least decent information out there, and once you get in, its very Python interpreter-y, it should be easy to get your bearings.
