Huawei NetEco 6000 with Zabbix (DC Power/Cooling → Service Impact Dashboards)

[Nagi]

Hello everyone,

We are currently running Zabbix (free edition) in our datacenter to monitor servers and applications, and we also use Huawei NetEco 6000 as our DCIM system for monitoring AC units, UPS, PDUs, ATS, and environmental sensors.

We want to integrate NetEco with Zabbix to achieve full service-impact visibility, such as:
AC failure → Rack temperature rise → Host shutdown → Service impacted.

Before proceeding, I would like to confirm the following from the community:

1. Is it possible to integrate Huawei NetEco 6000 with Zabbix using SNMP, SMTP email alerts, or SNMP traps?
(NetEco supports email forwarding and possibly SNMP depending on configuration.)


2. Can Zabbix Free Edition receive and process these alerts, map them to triggers, and display them on dashboards?


3. Is Zabbix Business Service Monitoring (BSM) in the free version sufficient to build dependency trees like:
Service → VM → Host → Rack → AC/PDU/UPS
and automatically show accurate service impact?


4. Are there existing community templates or recommended approaches for monitoring UPS, PDU, AC/CRAC units, and temperature sensors?
(Even if not specific to Huawei, general SNMP templates would help.)


5. Does the community recommend integrating DCIM alerts via SNMP or SMTP for best results?
We want to choose the most reliable and clean method.



Our goal is to build dashboards showing service health (Billing, Mail, SP Portal, etc.) linked to infrastructure events coming from NetEco — similar to “root-cause → service-impact dashboards”.

Any guidance, best-practice advice, or experience from others who integrated DCIM tools with Zabbix would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

There is no free and non-free version of Zabbix. There is one product with its full functionality and you can buy additional support for it, if you want.

1. SNMP queries and traps are available in Zabbix. Email as a source - no (at least not without bigger building of integration from emails to some sort of datas source..)
2. These are all considered as incoming data, you need to build those triggers and dashboards...
3. I think yes... even tho, I have not used it myself..
4. some existing huawei stuff can be seen here https://www.zabbix.com/integrations/huawei There are probably some more general templates, but you may need to build your own, depending on devices used...
5. as email as source is not really an option, then SNMP is your way...
