Not sure if its the way i've built the template (quite likely) or the way the Zabbix Prometheus parser works but it tries to generate some wacky combos of metrics / devices that get disabled because they dont exist.

For example see bellow screenshot where it tries to generate a rule for lxd_disk_written_bytes_total for network devices.

zabbix_lxd

If you have any idea id be interested to know!

I am looking into this and I am hoping to have it solved in a day or two at the most. I think the issue comes in with having multiple levels of data that have to be grouped together. It looks like what you wrote somehow gets a list of all of the devices and applies those devices to all metrics without a match. I think we may have to use more than one discovery rule due to the multi-level matching requirement.

Awesome, thank you :smile:

How this repository is supposed to work is something like;

# download repo
git clone https://github.com/turtle0x1/lxd-metrics-zabbix.git
# go into the repo
cd lxd-metrics-zabbix
# get a latest metrics sample
lxc query /1.0/metrics > build_template/metric_sample.txt
# rebuild the template based on the latest sample
php build_template/updateTemplate.php

Running this now (as this is abit behind) I can see there is a new param lxd_procs_total and a bug adding a junk rule lxd_procs_total[{##} (the {##} is the bug).

That is some what beside the point so any advise or hints to fixing the original issue would be welcome.

Good to know, thanks. I am still struggling to get it to work. I found a write-up on monitoring something else with Prometheus that I am going to read and see if it helps but I have not had time yet. This may take longer than I hoped for but I am still hoping to get it figured out. There has to be a way.

I have not forgotten this, just got too busy to look at it (as happens). I am hoping to pick it back up again soon. Fingers crossed.
