Azure SQL Managed Instance by HTTP

Overview

This template is designed to monitor Microsoft Azure SQL Managed Instance by HTTP. It works without any external scripts and uses the script item.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Azure SQL Managed Instance

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

  1. Create an Azure service principal via the Azure command-line interface (Azure CLI) for your subscription.

    az ad sp create-for-rbac --name zabbix --role reader --scope /subscriptions/<subscription_id>

See Azure documentation for more details.

  1. Link the template to a host.
  2. Configure the macros: {$AZURE.APP.ID}, {$AZURE.PASSWORD}, {$AZURE.TENANT.ID}, {$AZURE.SUBSCRIPTION.ID}, and {$AZURE.RESOURCE.ID}.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$AZURE.SUBSCRIPTION.ID}

Microsoft Azure subscription ID.
{$AZURE.TENANT.ID}

Microsoft Azure tenant ID.
{$AZURE.APP.ID}

The App ID of Microsoft Azure.
{$AZURE.PASSWORD}

Microsoft Azure password.
{$AZURE.RESOURCE.ID}

Microsoft Azure SQL managed instance ID.
{$AZURE.SQL.INST.CPU.WARN}

CPU utilization warning threshold, expressed in %.

 80
{$AZURE.SQL.INST.CPU.CRIT}

CPU utilization critical threshold, expressed in %.

 90
{$AZURE.SQL.INST.SPACE.WARN}

Storage space warning threshold, expressed in %.

 80
{$AZURE.SQL.INST.SPACE.CRIT}

Storage space critical threshold, expressed in %.

 90
{$AZURE.DATA.TIMEOUT}

API response timeout.

 15s
{$AZURE.PROXY}

Sets the HTTP proxy value. If this macro is empty, then no proxy is used.
{$HTTP.TLS.VERIFY}

TLS certificate verification for script items: "none" - disabled, "peer" - verify the certificate chain and expiration, "full" - full verification. Any other value enables full verification. To override the setting for this template only, define the macro with the context "Azure SQL Managed Instance", e.g. {$HTTP.TLS.VERIFY:"Azure SQL Managed Instance"}.
