¿It's posible to get information of a website?

[vic.caz]

hello everyone,

I am a new in zabbix and I need to evaluate if zabbix is posible to use as a Business Activity Monitor.

But I don’t know sure if is possible to do with the zabbix solution the things that I want.

I would like to know which tools I need to use or if you have some documentation or demo for see and can do the next issues.

I have a WebSite for buy different Deals. But the website have several problems when the people want to buy a product.

I want to monitoring different thinks but a little things are:

· Number of products I have active on the web

· How can I know if the Newsletter is sent and received correctly

· Check if the payment gateway is working correctly

· Number of people subscribe in the newsletter

· Number of people that buy a product

· Consume information from Webservice with username and Apikey
· Etc...

¿It's possible to do on zabbix? ¿where can i see some documentation or examples about that?

Thanks a lot!

Víctor

hey Victor,

welcome to Zabbix!

In short, yes, your questions can be handled by Zabbix but not out of the box.

Simple web monitoring can be done with Zabbix with the 'web monitoring' ( manual link ). This could be used to check if your payment gateway service is responding and perhaps even the web information with API and username.

Getting information about total products, how many products are bought, etc are values you need to get from your database i think. This information should be directly accessible with some queries. The results can be sent to Zabbix by using trappers and the zabbix_sender command ( manual link )

The newsletter is something else. It really depends on which software you are using to sent it. The mayor mailing list software all hold a database with subscribers, newsletters sent, bounced mails (mail received or not), etc. That database can be your source of information. Again you will need to sent the information you want to Zabbix by using scripts and zabbix_sender.

All zabbix_senders can be replaced by User parameters in the agent as well. Just make sure you get the information so you can use it in the agent.( manual link )

The various subjects (webmonitoring, zabbix_sender, user parameters) have threads on the forum. Try to search a bit and read the links to get more information about it and see if it can do what you are looking for with the final result.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

Hi Bennie!

Hi to everyone,

I'm a newbie in zabbix and I try to do things but i have several questions about the functionality about the program.

1 about scipts...

now I'm doing some examples with zabbix agent on linux and I execute a scipt of shell (*.sh) to connect a data base and extract several numbrers, If I execute a agent on a windows system, it's possible to execute a script (*.bat) to do the same things? or I must to use another type of sript?

2. about permissions...

It's possible that some graphs it only can see for several users? or all graphs that i print are accessible by all users? what type of permissions it's possible to configure for the differnt users?

3. zabbix android...

is there any application for android? I see some information but I don't know, if this is because exit some aplication or because it's possible to develop zabbix aplication in android...


thanks

Víctor
