Deploying Zabbix monitoring stack to Fedora Infra (eventually replace nagios)

Hi Kevin,

Does zabbix have anything like a ‘guest’ view? …

Ok had a quick look, it does have a guest view as it happens, you can login and see the dashboards but not change anything. I’ve enabled it there. On the login page there is a new option to login as guest. It doesn’t require any credentials.

Awesome. Thats a great find!

Perhaps we could just reuse the sysadmin-noc group here? (for the lower
access that can ack/etc) and main for the admin access?

Sounds good yeah, I’ll look into a set of permissions/role that can ack notifications, and should be able to have sysadmin-noc accounts be given this role.

+1

I’d prefer to try stick to the LTS versions just to limit maintenance pain, some periodic sync to create users eg by running a playbook, might be less painful than going to 6.4 (which has that new features regarding SAML logins and bein able to auto create accounts).

Sure… agreed. When is the next LTS one coming out?
I mean we can just setup some kind of stopgap now, and once that one
comes out move to it.

I wonder if we couldn’t roll the agent out to the rest of .stg. soon?

I’ll start working on this now ;D

Sounds great. Will be nice to see more data in there…also will tell us
if things scale ok.

There is a zabbix ansible collection.

Yup its pretty powerful, I was playing around with it, can administer a lot of config. We can create custom host templates for targetting systems with a particular role or OS. I’ll take a look at packaging that up so.

Excellent!

This is all moving along nicely…thanks again for driving it forward.
