Hi!
I am wanting to monitor my AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) using Zabbix as outlined here -> Kubernetes monitoring and integration with Zabbix
However, since AWS control the API server and management plan, I want to see if anyone else has successfully deployed Zabbix K8s monitoring into EKS, and if so, what challenges or "gotchyas" did you run into?
My other question I had was, do we need to manually assign any additional templates to the hosts in Zabbix?
How I expect the integration to work is:
1. Create some dummy hosts and assign the "Kubernetes nodes by HTTP" template or "Kubernetes cluster state by HTTP" template
2. These will create the real worker and management nodes in Zabbix
3, Zabbix should auto assign the template "Linux by Zabbix agent" to the hosts created by "Kubernetes nodes by HTTP" template
>>>Shouldn't this ne "Linux by Zabbix agent2" ??
4. Zabbix should auto assign ??? to the hosts created by "Kubernetes cluster state by HTTP"
5. Is "active" checks explicitly needed to be enabled?
The documentation is a little lacking in this regard, and I can't find much else of anyone actually monitoring an EKS cluster, so any thoughts or guidance on the above is greatly appreciated
Cheers,
Steve
