I recently wrote a script which enables me to extract data from my ASSP-proxy (an Anti-Spam solution in perl).
This ASSP can give statistical data using http. A 5-minute cronjob collects the data and then sends it to the Zabbix Server. Thus far I've only concentrated on the implementation to transport the data from my client to the server and all this is working now. It extracts the data using 'curl' and will send it using 'zabbix_sender'.
The script can also create the XML-template that can be imported into Zabbix
Here's the thread where I published this script:
I'm now in need of some guidance how to make use of this data. ASSP is giving cumulative data.
Should I send this cumulative data to the Zabbix-server and let this server handle the difference? Should I use 'simple delta' or 'speed per second'?
Will I make it better if I let zabbix_sender sent timestamp data or is this already handled?
I'm sending all the data all at once, but the perl script I had as an example had the possibility to send only 25 items at once. Why is that?
Thanks in advance...
