Integrating ACOS with Zabbix

ACOS supports integration with third-party monitoring platforms like Zabbix through SNMP, enabling these platforms to monitor ACOS clusters.

Prerequisite

You have installed Zabbix and the Zabbix template is of version 3.x or 4.0.

Procedure

On the AOC cluster page, click a cluster, select Settings from the tab bar, and select SNMP transport.
Create an SNMP transport.
1. Click Create transport.
2. Enter a name for the SNMP transport, such as zabbix.
3. Set Version to v2c.
4. Enter a name for the SNMP transport group, such as zabbix_group.
Prepare the MIB file.
1. Click Download MIB.
2. Unzip the downloaded ZIP file.
Copy the MIB file.
1. In the unzipped folder, copy the METRICS-MIB.mib file to the Zabbix Server backend directory /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.
2. Restart zabbix-server to load that MIB file.
Configure the Zabbix template.
1. In Zabbix, select Configuration > Templates and import the template.
  1. From the unzipped folder, select the zabbix_metric_template.xml file.
  2. Select the selected template and create a new group.
  3. Click Import.
2. Configure macros to add SNMP transport information.
  1. The SNMP transport group:
    1. Macros: {$SNMP_V2_COMMUNITY}
    2. Value: zabbix_group
  2. The SNMP port:
    1. Macros: {$SNMP_V2_PORT}
    2. Value: 161
3. Select Configuration > Host and create a host.
  1. Enter the host name. You can use the node IP address.
  2. Select the group ACOS.
  3. Configure the SNMP port: Enter the cluster's management virtual IP address or the management IP address of any master node. The port is 161.
4. Select Configure > Templates and associate the host with the newly imported template.
  1. Select the imported template.
  2. Associate the host with the template.

Result

You can view the created host in the host list, along with its associated Zabbix template.
In the Zabbix monitoring page, select the created host to access the ACOS cluster data.
