Zabbix ZFS discovery monitoring

[pbergdolt]

Hello All,

I have developped discovery rules for zfs storage monitoring, and I'd like to share this with you.
This has been validated on Centos but may be easily adapted for Oracle servers (where the zfs is native).

Below are the steps needed to install the zfs discovery rules:

1) add the userparameter_zfs.conf file into /usr/local/etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d directory on the host you want to monitor zfs

2) allow the zabbix user to run "zpool" and "zfs" commands
this is done by copying the "zabbix_sudo" file under /etc/sudoers.d directory

3) import the zbx_export_template.xml into zabbix

4) in zabbix gui add the "Template App ZFS" to the host you want to monitor zfs
this will create a refer and used item for each zfs fileset
also a zpool healt item, zpool available item. Graph will be also created


Feel free to comment and improve.
Regards

CentOS has native ZFS support?

[pbergdolt]

No there is no native support for ZFS on any of linux distro. You'll have to download and build. This has been done easily on Centos 6.3 and 6.4

pbergdolt,

Sorry to bring up such an old thread, I've successfully implemented your scripts from this post, and it's been a lifesaver on linux. I'm having an issue with FreeBSD (FreeNAS specifically) where it doesn't like the sed commands... Something about a new-line charecter...

I was wondering if you'd be willing to help me out?

Thank you for this template, it works perfectly

It's hard to help you when you have provided no information.

Did you ever solve your problem eventually?

Zfs script problem

Hy All !

I tried the zfs monitoring but when i run the scripts i always get
Unrecognized command: $ ! s/\(.*\)/{"{#FILESETNAME}":"\1"},/]

Does Anybody meets this problem ?

I added this template on https://share.zabbix.com/cat-app/cat...s/zfs-on-linux with some modification.

See the same on sparc solaris.
Fixed by usage gnu sed - on solaris 11 it lays in /usr/gnu/bin/sed

Seems you don't.
Why?

[Slash]

Seems you don't.
Why?

I did... but share.zabbix.com is still a beta, my account on it is gone too :/

I will add the 2 versions I have, one is for ZFS on Linux and the other is for FreeBSD (this one may work for Solaris or other unixes).

[Slash]

I have re-added the ZFS templates on share.zabbix.com.

For ZFS on Linux: https://share.zabbix.com/operating-s...x/zfs-on-linux
For ZFS on FreeBSD (may work on other unixes): https://share.zabbix.com/operating-systems/freebsd/zfs

Thank you, Slash!
Now trying to adapt your bsd for solaris.

Solaris 11 contains GNU sed; Solaris 10 not.
For Solaris 10 can be used rules:

UserParameter=zfs.pool.discovery,/sbin/zpool list -H -o name | awk 'BEGIN{print"{\"data\":[";}NR > 1 { printf(", ") }{print"{\"{#POOLNAME}\":\""$1"\"}";}END{print "]}";}'
UserParameter=zfs.fileset.discovery,/sbin/zfs list -H -o name -t vol,fs | awk 'BEGIN{print"{\"data\":[";}NR > 1 { printf(", ") }{print"{\"{#FILESETNAME}\":\""$1"\"}";}END{print "]}";}'

"-t vol,fs" added to skip snapshots in case of listsnapshots=on for pools
