Install and configure Zabbix.
This module aims to be a feature complete module for Zabbix. Right now it is being developed and tested on Gentoo and Debian/Ubuntu. I plan on porting it over to multiple architectures later on. The main development branch is the zabbix-api branch.
In my opinion a feature complete Zabbix module must support the following things.
- Zabbix reports from puppet
-
initial support by doing a subtree merge from github.com/thomasvandoren/puppet-zabbix
- ability to separately manage Zabbix server, frontend and agent
-
more or less ready to integrate
- additional apps like proxy, alternative agents (snmp + more)
-
not hard to do, but bumped to later since i don’t need them
- complete api integration for provisioning
-
plans are to host every single line of Zabbix config in puppet data somewhere. You never need to touch the config part of the frontend. The second version of the API seems to work, Zabbix’s api has some quirks and i needed to find those first. This is under development in the zabbix-api branch and will not hit master before it’s complete. The one in master is considered unsuitable for any use other that finding out how not to code ruby.
- documentation
-
containing all the (double) spaceship examples to explain why it makes sense to use the Zabbix api this way.
Most of the legwork is falling together and i expect this module to look like it should soonish. I will update the major version as soon as its at the stage where i consider it ready for Gentoo production and once more per additional operating system. I plan on going 1.0.0 as soon as Gentoo, Redhat and Debian work properly. The WindowsXP support in the agent is there mainly for historical reasons and i would rather commit more time with it (but it still needs to keep running on xp in 2.7 for the moment).
setup an agent on a node
$zabbix::params::server = 'zabbix'
class{ 'zabbix': }
agent management with user parameter
class{ 'zabbix::agent':
server => 'zabbix'
}
zabbix::agent::params { 'zabbix.param.test':
command => 'echo "Hello World!"'
}
zabbix::agent::params { 'Check for trueness':
key => 'zabbix.param.trueistrue
command => 'test true'
}
You might want to look here for a howtos:
I release my own part of this under the AGPL module because I hate hearing about production patches to my code that I can’t apply to the master version after properly writing tests for those cases. It is assumed that pull requests contain code that i may relicense into AGPL, if this is not the case ie. when I initiate the pull myself and its license is not convertible to AGPL (most licenses, like GPLv2+ are) this gets disclosed below with a license.
