Zabbix Cloudwatch Graphs

[PratapSingh]

Hi ,

Is it possible to display all cloudwatch metrics graph on Zabbix?

Problem statement:

1: users want to see all their servers cloudwatch metrics
2: I do not wish to create IAM for every user

What I am thinking to achieve using Zabbix:

1: Configure zabbix to fetch all metrics of instances under auto-scaling groups
2: If instances are not under any Auto-scaling group then bring all metrics using Name or Environment tag of instances if possible.
3: Enabling user to view graphs of these server for their zabbix host groups.


Is there any way to achieve this? I looked up to cloudwatch-zabbix project but finding it difficult to generate graphs. If anyone have done anything similar please share the steps or point me to right direction.

If you need only graphs, then Grafana with cloudwatch datasource is better solution.

Thanks Jan,

Yes, I am exploring Grafana, But I am not in favor of using it as it will add up one more tool in my infra to manage and added workload too. I would like to do it using Zabbix if it is possible if not then yep unfortunately I have to go for Grafana.

Hi Varun,

I moved to Grafana for graph and its pretty easy to install/configure. I would suggest the same to you. I am still using Zabbix for server and static service monitoring.

Hi Varun ,

You need to add datasource in grafana. You may refer to documentation site "http://docs.grafana.org/datasources/cloudwatch/"
