Agentless Linux monitoring

[sperr0w]

Hello!

maybe somebody can give me some information of how to monitor linux resource utilization without agent.

I know that shere is some ways in zabbix to monitor without agent, but may be some body have ready to use script ( for external script ) for CPU, memory and HDD monitoring?

I find script for WMI agentless Windows monitoring: zbxwmi.
I need some shell for Linux/Unix.

May be there is some ready solutions?

I think it should be possible via SNMP, though never tried it myself.

SNMP is also not allowed

Hello,

although not ideal for large amount of items, you can use the "SSH Agent" item type, which will login to your linux box through ssh, run a command and return the output. You can then trigger on that. (see https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...pes/ssh_checks)

The issue with the "SSH Agent" item is that if you have large amounts of items to monitor fairly frequently, it could bog down... I don't know if there are any guidelines as to how many ssh items is too much.

I think SNMP is a better option and the requests can be "bulked" together, I don't think SSH does.

If Security is the reason with SNMP is not considered, know that Zabbix does support SNMPv3, which has authentication and encryption that SNMPv1 and V2C didn't have.

Hope this helps,

G.
