Hello,
there is our project in the net. The ipaccounter. I'd like to create some helper scripts and a zabbix_send based collector.
The scripts would add or upgrade needed configuration for zabbix to be able to accept values for the hosts configured in ipaccounter.
The collector will then collect data from various locations and feed them to the zabbix server runnung on localhost.
Why all this if ipaccounter is working standalone with mysql. Because of zabbix but has all the nice functionalities we would reinvent in the ipaccounter itself (actions, graphs). Zabbix has full web interface. Accounting ip traffic fits I thing to the zabbix area too.
Perhaps If somebody would express his opinions I'll be greatfull.
The way I thing of interconnecting the two is somewhat ugly or complicated one will say. I can the ipaccounter is configured through the web interface incorporating more it's functionality into zabbix. But still I has the feeling that that's not the best thing that can be done.
I made some changes already to the zabbix_frontend, because I needed to display cumulative values instead of deltas, wich I account. I made an accounting lib containing a few functions and tweaked the history.php to use this lib. One is then able to select if he wants to see deltas, cumulative values, or speeds.
P.S. The acc.lib.php comes into /include
Thank you
