Added support for Collecting metrics of EC2 hosts without the limitation of having i-012345678 in HOST.HOST
In all our infrastructures, HOST indicates the hostname of the servers, not a particular field such as the "AWS instance id". Adapt existing infrastructures to this limitation doesn't make sense. The suggested PR consists on an OPTIONAL argument -H that indicates the value of HOST.HOST. If it exists, the zabbix_send method will send collected metrics to THAT HOST, no to IDENTITY (i-0123456789...)
Change Proposition for the Wiki:
This is Amazon CloudWatch metrics monitoring templates.
Requirements
Operation has been confirmed under the following environments.
CentOS7.2 or Amazon Linux 2016.3
Python 2.7
boto3(AWS SDK for Python)
Zabbix 2.2 or 3.0
Architecture
How to use
Only 3 steps.
Download and set a python script
Import template
Register hosts
Download and set a python script
Please download scripts/cloudwatch_zabbix.py on your Zabbix Server (External Scripts directory).
And please set exec permission to Zabbix Server user(default: zabbix).
Import template
Please import templates/3.0/cloudwatch_template.xml at Zabbix WebGUI ([Configuration]->[Templates]->Import).
(In case of Zabbix 2.2: templates/2.2/cloudwatch_template.xml)
If you want to monitor the billing data, please import awsbilling_template.xml.
Register hosts
Please register Zabbix hosts for EC2 instances, RDS instances, ELB, EBS volume or others.
In case of an EC2 instance:
Host name: i-xxxxx (please set Instance ID) OR the desired Zabbix host name (please use arguments -i {$INSTANCE_ID} and -H {HOST.HOST} in this case)
Templates: Template AWS EC2
Macros:
{$REGION} : set AWS region name(e.g. ap-northeast-1)
{$KEY} : set AWS Access Key ID (e.g. AKI........)
{$SECRET} : set AWS Secret Access Key
{$INSTANCE_ID} : (optional) set Instance ID if HOST.HOST doesn't include it. (e.g. i-1234567890abcdef0)
In case of Billing data:
Host name: any
Templates: Template AWS Billing
Macros:
{$REGION} : set AWS region name to us-east-1
{$KEY} : set AWS Access Key ID
{$SECRET} : set AWS Secret Access Key
Tip
If you don't want to set AWS credentials info at Zabbix Macro, please set OS environment variables.
