If you want to monitor SME Servers with zabbix, you'll first need to install the agent as explained earlier, then configure the agent to accept connection from your server. For example, to monitor you local server (the one running zabbix-server):
configure the agent to send informations to your server. For example, to monitor you local server (the one running zabbix-server):
db configuration setprop zabbix-agent Servers localhost
db configuration setprop zabbix-agent Servers localhost active disabled passive enabled
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
{{Note box|After installation, the agent is configured for active checks only. Here, we disable the active checks, and enable the passive ones.}}
Then, just add a host in Zabbix, pointing to localhost. Remember, if you use the active mode (agent send informations to the server), so you'll have to name the host <hostname>.<domain.tld>, then enter 127.0.0.1 in the IP address field.
Now you can start adding items (type agent (active or passive depending on the mode you use on the agent)) to this new host.
If you want to monitor SME Servers on the Internet and use passive mode, the server will initiate connections to the agent. You'll need to port-forward the port if you run in serveronly mode (the default is port 10050 TCP), or to open this port in the firewall if runing in server&gateway mode:
db configuration setprop zabbix-agent Servers w.x.y.z active disabled passive enabled access public AllowHosts w.x.y.z
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
signal-event zabbix-agent-update
You can download [http://sme.firewall-services.com/downloads/zabbix/zabbix_SME.zip here] an archive with some XML exports of the templates I use to monitor my servers. Just extract the archive, and import the templates you want in Zabbix (using the Import/Export menu of zabbix configuration)
Each XML file represent a template in Zabbix
*'''Template_SME''' is the main template. It'll add a lot of items for global system monitoring, triggers if load is too high, lack of free memory, httpd is down, passwd has changed etc... and also some graphs like CPU usage, memory, disk space, network usage etc... This templates requires the '''Template_icmp''' and '''Template_app_MySQL''' template
*'''Template_SME_coovaChilli''' will add tun0 statistics (useful if you use [[CoovaChilli]] contrib). It'll also create a graph for tun0 stats
It'll create some new templates in zabbix:
*Template_SME is for agents running in active mode (default of the contrib)
*'''Template_SME_softRaid''' will add items and triggers for software raid monitoring. If you link a SME Server with this template, you'll be warned if one of the raid array is degraded or rebuilding
*'''Template_SME_megaRaid''' will do the same but for MegaRaid based cards. It also requires the MegaCli utility from [http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/internal_raid/megaraid_sas/ LSI] website
*'''Template_SME_nutUPS''': Will add items and triggers to be warned if your UPS is on battery, or overloaded.
*'''Template_icmp''': will configure two items to check if the server is alive, and measure the latency. It also provides latency graphs and some triggers (if latency is too high, if host is down since more than 5min and if hosts is down for more than 1 hour)
