Module: Zabbix

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. This modules uses the git-flow model and the main development branch is develop. For versioning this module adheres to semver.org.

In my opinion a feature complete Zabbix module must support the following things.

• Zabbix reports from puppet

  supported by doing a subtree merge of thomasvandoren/puppet-zabbix

• ability to separately manage Zabbix server, frontend and agent

• 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 develop branch and will not hit master before it's complete. The version 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.

At this point most of the legwork is done. This module will hit the 1.x milestone as soon as it is ready for produciton on gentoo and debian/ubuntu.

Requirements

• zabbix = 2.4
• puppet >= 3.5.1

Development
