screen with data for marketing

[techtivitysupport]

hello all,

I was tasked with evaluating zabbix. Got proxy and a few agents running. Got Grafana working as well.

My question, is there a way to have a screen dedicated to marketing personnel with global statistics like total number of devices, total throughput of those devices, number of linux/windows server, total hard disk space and so on.

Is there a way to achieve this? What should I be researching?

Thanks.

Hi, techtivitysupport.
I think, you may use Aggregate checks.
For example, to get a number of active hosts:
grpsum["host group","agent.ping",last]

[techtivitysupport]

Where could I read more about them? What checks are available and so on. I would imagine these would run on zabbix server.

This is off topic but is there a zabbix demo that has real devices? Would be great to look around how everything is put together. I checked demo on zabbix.com as a guest but I didn't see proxies, SLAs and other things configured.

How would I go about counting Windows and Linux machines?
Is there a way to count switches, routers and firewalls?

Which parameters should I be looking at?

Regarding total hard disk space.

grpsum["Statistics","vfs.fs.size[/,total]",last]

Seems to count hard drive partition size for Linux machines.
Is there a way to get hard drive size instead of a partition size?
If not, is there a way to dynamically get all partition sizes and add them up?


Having problem with counting a number of CPUs as well
using to count CPUs in a year:
grpsum["Statistics","system.cpu.num",max,365d]

but got:
No items for key "%s" in group(s) "Statistics".


I mashed all this in here but hopefully somebody will take a look and help out.

What about regarding USB or PCI devices? Is there a way to count them?

grpsum["Statistics","system.hw.devices[usb]",last]

Does not seem to work for me.
