This talk will cover a case study at BlaBlaCar, a transport network community with more than 20 milion members in 19 countires. The presentation will overview using a low-powered virtual machine to monitor the whole environment, concentrating on LLD and trapper items. Also projects like python-protobix, jmx-zabbix and python-zabbix will be covered.
Zabbix Conference 2015
17. Standardization
Server triggers probe execution
via zabbix-agent active item
Probes collects, format and send
informations using zabbix sender protocol
Probe's exit code is send back
to the server for feedback loop
18. Standard :
0 => OK
1 => fail during init
2 => fail while getting informations
3 => fail during Container update
4 => fail during Send phase
Exit codes
19. Python or Java
LLD wherever possible
trappers always
Only 2 zabbix-agent (active) items per
template
Client side probes
41. Announced
– Trends predictions
– More scalable backend
– SSL communications
Not announced
(As far as I know)
– Trends from
– Implicit dependency
against proxy
– Detailled web scenario
– Per item maintenance
– Anomaly detection
What I miss in Zabbix
42. 3 Take aways
Now you can wake up :)
1. Define & use standards
2. Use LLD & Trappers
3. Visualization is critical
Let's discuss all that !
