Monitoring and reporting the start/stop of Servers with summary report

[Venom]

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post; hence apologies in advance if i have missed some of the forum rules.

Brief of the infrastructure
We have s couple of 10's of servers which are used for Compute jobs for customers.
Our customers can access our portal (web application), submit the compute files and jobs ad fire the computational job.
there is a backend automated system which does a power on (via ipmi) to the baremetal servers. These servers boot to a proxmox platform and in turn powers on the required VMs. The VM complete the job and systems are powered down in (first VM and then baremetals). All this is managed by our in house application team.

I am trying to get zabbix to monitor these servers and give us a periodic report showing which nodes have been powered on for how much duration in a given time window (day / week / month etc)
For example node 5
day 1 power on time; power off time; power on hours
Day1 power on time; power off time; power on hours (might be a second power on during the same day)
Day2 power on time; power off time; power on hours

and so on for all the nodes

i would prefer to get this via ipmi power status (+ ping preferably)

I have tried to search on google and forums but unable to find any thing, hence the topic here.

I can be considered pretty average user on linux, networking, snmp. however pretty new to zabbix.

Any advice / suggestions will really help.
If i have missed any information above, will be happy to address the same.

Many thanks in advance

Zabbix is more of a monitoring system and not a counting system....
Perhaps SLA report will suit you: https://www.zabbix.com/documentation...it_services
see "SLA report"

Hi Hamardaban,

Many thanks for the quick response.

I do understand that zabbix is more of an NMS.

I am ok with getting total hours on a weekly basis, however i think you are referring to availability report; this shows percentage and not values in hours.
I there some customisation that can be done to achieve this?

well being a bit more greedy (sorry about it) if you are aware of any other application that can help on this

Thanks once again for your quick revert.

Shows not only percentages, but also time.


Unfortunately, I will not recommend any programs - I have no jobs related to counting.
