I'm looking to deploy and manage a large number of Zabbix installations. In order to do so effectively I need a way to fully automate the setup and configuration. I've already got a lot of experience in working with building RPMs. So I'll probably re-roll the Zabbix RPMs with my own configuration files. I can also have the RPM's %post install script automatically initialize the database with all of the settings in a baseline form. All of that is do-able.
What I can't decide on is how to manage the systems after the initial load. What is the best method of managing them automatically after initialization? Should I use direct database manipulation? Wget/Curl calls to the appropriate web pages? Wget/Curl to import/export? Some other method?
