Install Zabbix agent using puppet

[natalia]

Hi,

I need help with puppet package to install/upgrade Zabbix agents.

I find the following installation commands:

rpm --import http://repo.zabbixzone.com/centos/RP...KEY-zabbixzone
rpm -Uv http://repo.zabbixzone.com/centos/za...0-1.noarch.rpm
yum install zabbix-agent -y
chkconfig zabbix-agent on
mv /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.default
sed 's/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=<my Zabbix server's ip>/' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.default > /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
service zabbix-agent start

First of all, are these steps correct ?
I am using Zabbix 2.0.5

How to create puppet package ? Can somebody share it ?

Thanks for the help.
Natalia

Seems steps is correct.

But:
- I would reccomend use official repo zabbix.

also i notised you cannot change ServerActive option, If your agents will be active, you should change it too.


hope it help

Install Zabbix agent using puppet

Hi,

Thanks !

I changed it to :

rpm -ivh http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/2.0/rh...el6.noarch.rpm
yum install zabbix-agent -y
mv /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.default
sed 's/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=<my Zabbix server's ip>/' /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.default > /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
service zabbix-agent start

is it ok now ?

I don't change "ServerActive=127.0.0.1" in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf
on agents, should it be changed ? I jusr define "Server=<my Zabbix server's ip> , is it not enough ?

Thanks !!!!

It enough for passive agents.
Try to change sed to follow command:
sed -e 's/Server=127.0.0.1/Server=<Your Server IP>/' -e 's/ServerActive=127.0.0.1/ServerActive=<Your Server IP>/' ./zabbix_agentd.conf.defaul > ./zabbix_agentd.conf.new

Thanks a lot !
Will change it

Any other options that you suggest to define in zabbix_agentd.conf ?
like "EnableRemoteCommands=1"

Thanks !

[neogan]

If it necessary for you, you can ebable it.

Puppet package?? You just create a recipe, this example for EL6:

class zabbix::agent {

        file { [ "/etc/zabbix/", "/var/log/zabbix" ]:
                ensure          => directory,
                owner           => zabbix,
                group           => zabbix,

                mode            => 0755;

                "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf":
                owner           => zabbix,
                group           => zabbix,
                mode            => 0644,
                notify          => Service["zabbix-agent"],
                content         => template("zabbix/zabbix_agent.erb");

                "/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.userparams.conf":
                owner           => zabbix,
                group           => zabbix,
                mode            => 0644,
                notify          => Service["zabbix-agent"],
                content         => template("zabbix/zabbix_agentd.userparams.erb");
        }

        file {  "/var/run/zabbix":
                ensure          => directory,
                owner           => zabbix,
                group           => zabbix,
                mode            => 0775;
        }

        sudo::file { 'zbx': }

        service { 'zabbix-agent':
                enable          => 'true',
                hasstatus       => 'true',
                hasrestart      => 'true',
                pattern         => "/usr/sbin/zabbix_agentd",
                ensure          => 'running',
                require         => [File["/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf"], Package["zabbix-agent"]],
        }

        package { "zabbix-agent":
                ensure          => present,
        }
