Zabbix Cookbook
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This cookbook installs, manages, and handles Zabbix for monitoring systems
|
|
health and system metrics. It also handles trap script auto-discovery based
|
|
on recipe inclusion and tags, as well as auto-registration metadata.
|
|
|
|
The way auto-discovery works is, for example, if the openldap recipe is
|
|
included in the run_list, the zabbix::trap_scripts will set up the variables
|
|
used to add certain trap scripts to the monitored system, for use in:`/etc/zabbix/trap.d/{live,daily}/`
|
|
|
|
Optionally, in case a recipe is incomplete or not in use, you can manually
|
|
enable a trap agent by use of tags on a per-node basis as well, using the
|
|
node tags as such:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "some.node.name",
|
|
"chef_environment": "_default",
|
|
"normal": {
|
|
"tags": [
|
|
"httpd",
|
|
"openldap"
|
|
]
|
|
},
|
|
"run_list": [
|
|
"recipe[zabbix]"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This allows for fully automated, and manual designation of agents required
|
|
for monitoring on every system.
|
|
|
|
Available tags for manual override are as follows:
|
|
```
|
|
httpd: Apache HTTPD
|
|
openldap: OpenLDAP
|
|
mongodb: MongoDB Database Server
|
|
tomcat: Tomcat 6 Server
|
|
```
