Control-M enterprise manager by HTTP

Overview

The template to monitor Control-M by Zabbix that work without any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Control-M 9.21.0

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

This template is intended to be used on Control-M Enterprise Manager instances.

It monitors:

  • active SLA services;
  • discovers Control-M servers using Low Level Discovery;
  • creates host prototypes for discovered servers with the Control-M server by HTTP template.

To use this template, you must set macros: {$API.TOKEN} and {$API.URI.ENDPOINT}.

To access the API token, use one of the following Control-M interfaces:

Control-M WEB user interface;

Control-M command line interface tool CTM.

{$API.URI.ENDPOINT} - is the Control-M Automation API endpoint for the API requests, including your server IP, or DNS address, Automation API port and path.

For example, https://monitored.controlm.instance:8443/automation-api.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$API.URI.ENDPOINT}

The API endpoint is a URI - for example, https://monitored.controlm.instance:8443/automation-api.

 <set the api uri endpoint here>
{$API.TOKEN}

A token to use for API connections.

 <set the token here>

Control-M server by HTTP

Overview

This template is designed to get metrics from the Control-M server using the Control-M Automation API with HTTP agent.

This template monitors server statistics, discovers jobs and agents using Low Level Discovery.

To use this template, macros {$API.TOKEN}, {$API.URI.ENDPOINT}, and {$SERVER.NAME} need to be set.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • Control-M 9.21.0

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

This template is primarily intended for using in conjunction with the Control-M enterprise manager by HTTP template in order to create host prototypes.

It monitors:

  • server statistics;
  • discovers jobs using Low Level Discovery;
  • discovers agents using Low Level Discovery.

However, if you wish to monitor the Control-M server separately with this template, you must set the following macros: {$API.TOKEN}, {$API.URI.ENDPOINT}, and {$SERVER.NAME}.

To access the {$API.TOKEN} macro, use one of the following interfaces:

Control-M WEB user interface;

Control-M command line interface tool CTM.

{$API.URI.ENDPOINT} - is the Control-M Automation API endpoint for the API requests, including your server IP, or DNS address, the Automation API port and path.

For example, https://monitored.controlm.instance:8443/automation-api.

{$SERVER.NAME} - is the name of the Control-M server to be monitored.

Macros used

Name Description Default
{$SERVER.NAME}

The name of the Control-M server.

 <set the server name here>
{$API.URI.ENDPOINT}

The API endpoint is a URI - for example, https://monitored.controlm.instance:8443/automation-api.

 <set the api uri endpoint here>
{$API.TOKEN}

A token to use for API connections.

 <set the token here>
