SpringBoot / Java monitoring

[maxSingapore]

Hi All,

I am running Zabbix 4.0 and am able to do all the basic monitoring/alerting I want. I love it.

Now I have a springboot (so JAVA) application running locally which uses PostGreSQL, and I would like to be able to raise "problems" on Zabbix baise on behaviors that my application sees.
My list of alarms is determined, so I guess I could defined all the required Zabbix items/trigers for each of the "problem".
My use case if basic: if one of my Java method return xxx, i want to raise and show a problem in Zabbix.

But my question is how can I send that to Zabbix server? I d rather work with a push model to avoid worrying about alarms rotation or duplicates, but that s not an hardcore requirement.

Here are the few ideas I have in mind. If some if you could let me know your recommendations (if you know of a Java library for your recomendation, that d be even awesomer):

- Send Trapper alert from my application? Any stable Java client available?
- Something like a log file?
- Use JMX monitoring? It seems a bit complicated to set up, but maybe I wrong.
- Use custom SNMP alerts?
- Maintain an Alert DB and get it queried by Zabbix?

Here is the extent of what I have in mind.

Thank you all in advance.

Nope not yet...

If you can receive the result by executing some command, there are two ways to send the result to the Zabbix server.

- Use the zabbix_sender command
- Output the result to a file and monitor that file with Zabbix

Because monitoring using JMX is primarily a memory condition, it may not be suitable for determining the outcome of a particular method.
