Envoy Proxy by HTTP

Overview

The template to monitor Envoy Proxy by Zabbix that works without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.

Template Envoy Proxy by HTTP - collects metrics by HTTP agent from metrics endpoint {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH} endpoint (default: /stats/prometheus).

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Envoy Proxy 1.20.2

Configuration

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

Setup

Internal service metrics are collected from {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH} endpoint (default: /stats/prometheus). https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/v1.20.0/operations/stats_overview

Don't forget to change macros {$ENVOY.URL}, {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH}. Also, see the Macros section for a list of macros used to set trigger values.

NOTE. Some metrics may not be collected depending on your Envoy Proxy instance version and configuration.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$ENVOY.URL}

Instance URL.

 http://localhost:9901
{$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH}

The path Zabbix will scrape metrics in prometheus format from.

 /stats/prometheus
{$ENVOY.CERT.MIN}

Minimum number of days before certificate expiration used for trigger expression.
