Howto install Zabbix 3.4

I have never tried to do so, but I would love to test this also on my environment. Could be a big improvement.

Oh, and by the way I forgot… Great work, as usual :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s possible.
You may also change the zabbix repo from 3.4 to 3.5 and reinstall to test the alpha release…

You are right, this would help a lot.

Thank you Andy…

Interesting,
I use Nagios to monitoring but I’m going to test this Zabbix on a VM.
I’ll use your tutorial, thanks for sharing.

You may just install the zabbix module.

For nagios have a look here

Shouldn’t it also be on this page somewhere?

Just to let you know:

I’ve updated the previous 4 Servers I was using to test your Zabbix Module.

And no, they aren’t really test servers, they are actual production servers!
OK, I’ve got everything covered with ProxMox Backups and the such, but one server is a native installation of NethServer. On that one, I don’t have everything doubly covered like on the other ones…

All are working as expected, the Backup-Tests are also working.

Now, to make them show up nicely somewhere on the Zabbix screen for that server…

Best Regards
Andy

Hi

During testing, I also tested if Zabbix is included in the standard duplicity backup - it doesn’t seem to be included.

How could this be done (Folders and DB) automagically?

Thx

Andy

Hi Andy,

you are right, seems I missed the backup/restore :blush:

Zabbix saves anything relevant to its postgres database, so it should be enough to just backup that database or am I missing something?

I’ll provide an updated module asap…

Some docs about backup:

http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/v7/nethserver-backup-config.html
http://docs.nethserver.org/projects/nethserver-devel/en/v7/nethserver-backup-data.html

@mrmarkuz

Hi

I’d save the DB, as well as the images folder / templates folder…

My 2 cents…

Andy

New zabbix module update with included backup/restore, thanks to @Andy_Wismer

  • postgres db backup with backup-data
  • config backup: /etc/zabbix
  • data backup: /usr/share/zabbix, /usr/lib/zabbix

I put it to the wiki as suggested:

How do I update existing servers?

yum -y install nethserver-zabbix

Doesn’t update anything…

Thx

Andy

To update this way you have to install the repo:

https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=mrmarkuz_repository

If it does not work, here is the direct download:

yum -y install https://smart-ict.services/mirror/mrmarkuz/7/noarch/nethserver-zabbix-0.0.1-6.ns7.noarch.rpm

Hi
Thanks, that worked well - didn’t know you had a repo…
Somehow oversaw that info. :wink:

Great Work, Markus!

Sorry, the domain changed, see this thread

Please execute

yum -y install https://nethserver.globalcortex.net/mirror/mrmarkuz/7/noarch/nethserver-mrmarkuz-0.0.1-2.ns7.noarch.rpm

to make the downloads work again.
