Oracle Cloud Load Balancer by HTTP

Overview

This template monitors Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) load balancer resources.

This template is not meant to be used independently, but together with Oracle Cloud by HTTP as a template for LLD host prototypes.

For communication with OCI, this template utilizes script items which execute HTTP GET and POST requests. POST requests are required for OCI Monitoring API as it utilizes Monitoring Query Language (MQL) which uses the HTTP request body for queries.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 8.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Configuration

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

Setup

This template is not meant to be used independently. A host with the Oracle Cloud by HTTP template will discover OCI load balancers automatically, create host prototypes for each discovered load balancer, and apply it to this template.

If needed, you can specify an HTTP proxy for the template to use by changing the value of the {$OCI.HTTP.PROXY} user macro.

If using a proxy, the returned OK HTTP response could change from "200" to a different value. In that case, please adjust the user macro {$OCI.HTTP.RETURN.CODE.OK}.

The LLD filter values and trigger threshold values can be changed with the respective user macros.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$OCI.HTTP.PROXY}

Set an HTTP proxy for OCI API requests if needed.

{$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 "Oracle Cloud Load Balancer", e.g. {$HTTP.TLS.VERIFY:"Oracle Cloud Load Balancer"}.

full
{$OCI.HTTP.RETURN.CODE.OK}

Set the HTTP return code that represents an OK response from the API. The default is "200", but can vary, for example, if a proxy is used.

200
{$OCI.HTTP.TIMEOUT}

Set an HTTP request timeout.
