Automatic addition of agents

[Tenchi]

I created an install script to make deplyment of the zabbix client on servers very easy, it is as fallows:

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /etc/zabbix
useradd zabbix
passwd zabbix -l
cd /etc/zabbix
wget http://youdb.com/files/zabbix/zabbix_agentd
wget http://youdb.com/files/zabbix/conf/zabbix_agentd.conf
chown -R zabbix:zabbix /etc/zabbix
cd /etc/init.d/
wget http://youdb.com/files/zabbix/init.d...bix_agentd_ctl
echo "zabbix ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /etc/init.d/*" >> \n /etc/sudoers
hostname > /tmp/hostname
sed -i "s/\./_/g" /tmp/hostname
export HOST=`cat /tmp/hostname`
echo $HOST
sed -i "s/Hostname=ZABBIX/Hostname=$HOST/" /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
chmod +x /etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl
chmod +x /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd
/etc/init.d/zabbix_agentd_ctl restart


My question is, Is it possible to have the zabbix server automatically add hosts which send data to it ?

You could try "Configuration -> Discovery" on the menu, and create a rule. I don't know how this works yet.

Create a discovery rule for a subnet that checks for a zabbix agent install. Then you have to create an action based on that discovery rule. As an example:

These are the conditions:

Host ip = "10.10.0.1-128"
Service type = "ZABBIX agent"
Discovery status = "Up"
Received value like "Linux"

Here are the operations defined:

Add to group "Linux servers"
Add to group "Infrastructure"
Link to template "Template_Linux"
Link to template "Template_HP_InsightManager"

Adjust the conditionals and operations to match your environment of course.
