OMG @Andy_Wismer I seriously need to work on my Zabbix fu 
got any pointers?!?
Sure!
Letâs use a Chit-Chat for that, otherwise we really mess up the subject!
You start it upâŠ
We could also creat a new Post, helping others to get Zabbix Monitoring up and running.
Your choiceâŠ
I just want a pretty map. 
Mine are all hand drawn, Iâve got the Zabbix monitoring functions working fine.
There should be plenty of symbols in the library, if you used @mrmarkuz Module / Installation Instructions. There are a few also for your Zabbix / NethServer, on different Hardware or just virtual.
However, looking at the Screenshot, thereâs not that much in your network displayedâŠ
Maybe thereâs stuff there, but not enabled in the map.

Hi
One of the first things to do in Zabbix is activate your Server, change the Admin Password and:
Change the Name and Look of that server to match what it really is: Your NethServer!
The Name in Zabbix is really only for humans, Zabbix uses itâs internal ID. That means you can rename any object whenever you want to!
My 2 cents

Huh?
That Zabbix is actually a Ubuntu vm I spun up for it. Itâs a poor, sad, neglected puppy, Iâve done little with it but run discovery, the ping templates and some service monitoring. I need to spend more time on it at some point, Itâs on my list.
OK, no probs!
If you want to prep that one up, or have it running on your NethServer and want me to give a hand with it, sure!
Drop a line, weâll find the time!
Zabbix can do a lot more than just pingâŠ
Stuff like running (or NOT running) Services, live SQL Stats, Camera Monitoring, Radio monitoring (For national DAB over Internet RadiosâŠ), VoIP, with amount of incoming / outgoing callsâŠ
Take a serious 2-4 hours, and get yourself a nice, solid monitoring. And if any clients call with an issue, you already know whatâs the problem - in most of the cases⊠
Screens like this one for USV monitoring are also nice:
The map, where the raspberry and UPS can be seen at bottom rightâŠ
Just donât ask me what a âHorribaâ or âUriSysâ actually does!
The 2 NAS and the left Proxmox are connected with BONDING, as is shown on the map if you look close.
My 2 cents

@Andy_Wismer If it was me Iâd redact that Dr. officeâs externally resolvable fqdn before posting that map.

Slight oversight, correctedâŠ
Although the AD isnât as such resolveableâŠ
(The rest would be, though, even though the web page is external)âŠ
Thx
Hi all,
I found an endless loop during a reboot command when the Data Base is stopping. There are lot of reports on Google under âZabbix-Server do not Stopâ.
Indeed, during a reboot and just before the Zabbix service stops, it wants to update the DB, but since the DB is already stopped, Zabbix waits until the BD becomes active again - which is not possible - it is definitively stopped. From there the endless loop âŠ
You just need to include an ExecStop command in the /usr/lib/systemd/system/rh-mariadb102-mariadb.service file under the [Service] section. (this file will be different for MySQL or PostgreSQL)
...
[Service]
Type = notify
User = mysql
Group = mysql
# For a delay so that zabix-server.service has time to finish
# its task of updating the DB before the DB stops.
ExecStop=/usr/bin/sleep 60
...
In this way, the DB will wait 60 seconds before actually shutting down and this will allow the Zabbix server enough time to update the DB.
Reference: Man page: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html and look for the heading ExecStop=.
It seems that the problem does not exist with the shutdown command?
