ZABBIX XEN Monitoring Module

[exkg]

Hi,

We have a Module (xen_module_unirede.so) to XEN Server Monitoring. It works like VMWARE Monitoring (built in). We created this module to 'prove concepts' using Loadable modules feature .


Try it and give us some feedback:

Thank you. Is the source code available ?

[exkg]

Hi,

Did you tried it ?
The source will be available soon ... for now we need feedback to know if will work to most ZABBIX users.

ZABBIX XEN Module Test on Zabbix Proxy 2.2.6

I have test it on zabbix Proxy 2.2.6. If i want to start the zabbix proxy on "Arch Linux":
Linux alarmpi 3.12.28-2-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Mon Sep 22 02:02:11 MDT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
This is a Raspberry PI device with the zabbix proxy installed.

With "systemctl start zabbix-proxy" and check status, the proxy is not startet after I include the modul in the "zabbix_proxy.conf"

[root@alarmpi ~]# systemctl status zabbix-proxy
* zabbix-proxy.service - Zabbix Proxy
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/zabbix-proxy.service; enabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since Tue 2014-10-14 16:09:14 CEST; 3s ago
Process: 313 ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/zabbix_proxy (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

Oct 14 16:09:14 alarmpi systemd[1]: Started Zabbix Proxy.

In the "journalctl -xn" i see this:
-- Unit zabbix-proxy.service has begun starting up.
Oct 14 16:09:13 alarmpi systemd[1]: Failed to reset devices.list on /system.slice: Invalid argument

Are you going to provide English documentation and module source code?

Looking on your templates I see that you you trying to fight with that same problem which I have in my module which is lack of access to host macros from inside module code.
If key function will have an access to macros would be possible to not pass in username and password as long as such key will be able to read it from host local macros like {$URL}, {$USERNAME}, {$PASSWORD}.
IMO it would be good to have such ABI extension which will allow module access to such data.

I'm also look for source code, but I think ist not available now.
I hope for help from the programmer.

For security reason I use stunnel for all transaction from proxy to my Zabbix server. Therfore I have no afraid about this security hole. I also use only https connection to my Zabbix Server to restrict access.

I have looked for a newer module Version or source code but not found it at this time. I hope this project ist not dead and an next time source code is available.

Did try on OpenSuse 13.1

I got an error following your instructions:
cannot load module “xen_module_unirede.so”: /usr/lib64/libxenserver.so.2: undefined symbol: xmlFree

[alisson]

Hello. Coming soon the source code will be distributed.

The module available ir compiled on x86_64 linux. Then, on ARM yet was not tested and compiled.

The problem with xmlFree probably is because you don't have installed libxml2 or the path of libxml2.so is not in /etc/ld.so.conf.

Reply libxml2

Nope.
libxml2.so is present and path set in ld.so.conf

I also did try a clean installation, same result.
Perhaps version?
Zypp info:
Repository: @System
Name: libxenserver2
Version: 6.2.0-14.17
Arch: x86_64

PS: If you would put this in lets say github, you can keep a better issue record.
