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
```
