Zabbix check if server running

[redhead]

I made a script to check if the zabbix server is running, not that my zabbix server is sometimes down, now just i now for sure that zabbix is running without checking it manualy. It is posible that the zabbix server is down when I'am testing things, when I'am push it to much.

Just unzip the attachment, place it in a folder, add a line to cron, run this script every 10-60 minutes, and you're done.

Zabbix is a great solution, keep up the good work !

Hi redhead

I like your script - so I "improved" it for my needs.

-> It only writes the logfile if Zabbix is not running
-> It tries to (re)start the server.
-> Also changed sendmail to mail - why? It works for me

Perhaps one of the functions is useful for someone somehow

Thanks for the original script

The code:

[...]
# Number of retries
RETRIES=5

# Mail data to send the warning
MAIL_TO="[email protected]"
MAIL_FROM="[email protected]"
MAIL_SUBJECT="Zabbix Check Script"

# Log directory
LOGDIR="/var/log/zabbixcheck"

# Server binary
SERVER_BIN="/usr/local/bin/zabbix_server"

# PID file
SERVER_PID="/var/tmp/zabbix_server.pid"

# Current date
CURDATE=`/bin/date --date 'today' '+%d-%m-%y-%H-%M'`
# Logfile
LOG="$LOGDIR/zabbix_server."$CURDATE".log"

}

if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
        echo -e "\nZabbix Check Script" >> $LOG

        while true; do
                if [ $COUNTER -le $RETRIES ]; then
