OpenBSD by Zabbix agent
Overview
This is an Official OpenBSD template. It requires Zabbix agent 7.4 or newer.
Notes on filesystem (FS) discovery:
- The ext4/3/2 FS reserves space for privileged usage, typically set at 5% by default.
- BTRFS allocates a default of 10% of the volume for its own needs.
- To mitigate potential disasters, FS usage triggers are based on the maximum available space.
- Utilization formula:
pused = 100 - 100 * (available / total - free + available)
- Utilization formula:
- The FS utilization chart, derived from graph prototypes, reflects FS reserved space as the difference between used and available space from the total volume.
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.4 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- OpenBSD
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
Install Zabbix agent on OpenBSD according to Zabbix documentation.
