systemd / journal integration for event monitoring

[tvtue]

Dear Zabbix Users,

are there any plans, thoughts or maybe even a solution on this topic?

cheers

I don't think so - see https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBXNEXT-2871.
Feel free to create a pull request in community project https://github.com/cavaliercoder/zabbix-module-systemd. There is already implemented D-bus communication with systemd. I guess you will need to implement only signal subscription and then event handling.

Hello Jan,

thank you for your reply. This looks very interesting. I will keep an eye on it.

But for production I tend to keep more with the delivered features. So I think this has to become more mature before.

Also my intention pointed more to the journal which replaces syslog on some modern linux systems like e.g. opensuse.

Thanks and have a great day

OK, then your choice can be to contract Zabbix (https://www.zabbix.com/development_services) or some 3d party dev individually to develop unique functionality according to your needs.

IMHO: Zabbix loadable module, which will use journal C API will be the very nice solution.

If you need a mature solution, then stick with classic syslog and forward logs from journald to syslog. But that's IMHO just workaround.
