rbvmoni-zabbix

rbvmoni-zabbix is a Ruby script which monitors vSphere environment by Zabbix.
This script has the following features.

• Getting information of ESXi, Storage, and Virtual Machines from vCenter and Zabbix server monitors them.
• Auto-registration of the ESXi, Storage and Virtual Machines to Zabbix.
• Auto-deletion of the ESXi, Storage and Virtual Machines from Zabbix when they are deleted and one day will pass.

Prerequisite

• rbvmomi is required in order to use vSphere API. gem install rbvmomi
• zbxapi is required in order to use Zabbix API. gem install zbxapi
  If your Zabbix Server is 2.0.4 later, apply [this workaround](your Zabbix Server is after 2.0.4. ).

Install

1. Set rbvmoni-zabbix.rb on /etc/zabbix.
   • Set userparameter_vsphere-vm.conf on Userparameter directory. (Generally,/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d)
   • Import XML files (Zabbix Template) to Zabbix by Web Interface.
   • Set maximum(30) to Timeout of Zabbix Server and Zabbix Agent. (Generally,/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf,/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf)
   • Execute rbvmoni-zabbix.rb /etc/zabbix/rbvmoni-zabbix.rb (vCenter IP) (vCenter Username) (vCenter Password) (Zabbix Group Prefix) (Zabbix API URL) Example
     /etc/zabbix/rbvmoni-zabbix.rb 10.1.1.1 administrator password DC http://10.1.1.2/zabbix/api
     0 is retuned when it succeeds.
     Status files and log files are created in /tmp/vsphere/.
   • Regist vCenter into Host of Zabbix, and apply Template-vCenter.xml to it.
   • Create the following macro to registered vCenter.
   • {$VC_HOST} vCenter IP Address
   • {$VC_USERNAME} vCenter Username
   • {$VC_PASSWORD} vCenter Password
   • {$DS_NAME} Zabbix Group Prefix
   • {$ZBX_URL} Zabbix API URL

Options

If you do not want to remove VirtualMachine which you removed from Zabbix, $EnableDeprovisioningHostGroup is set to True, you can move to Host Groups called Deprovisioned Hosts of Zabbix, without removing Host.
