The pulsations of white dwarf stars are potentially a rich source of information about white dwarf structural properties. Extracting and applying this information to improve our knowledge of white dwarf interiors requires measuring individual eigenperiods in a complex power spectrum, and identifying the character of the eigenmodes they represent. This review will summarize observational progress in these areas for the ZZ Ceti pulsators.
