rabe-zabbix

Collection of various Zabbix templates and helper scripts created or used by Radio Bern RaBe.

See below for an overview of our templates. We group our templates similar to how Zabbix-out-of-the-box templates are grouped.

Stacks

Every host within Zabbix gets a specific stack template assigned according to its role. The stack exactly defines the setup of this host and will be re-used if there is more than one host with the same role.

As an example, a host which servers a MediaWiki instance, will get the stack template MediaWiki Stack assigned. The stack template might include the operating system template EL9 Stack, the application templates Apache by HTTP, PHP-FPM by HTTP and MariaDB by agent 2.

This ensures great modularity, reusability and avoids unecessary inheritance problems.

Zabbix Version Support

We primarily support versions of Zabbix we use in production.

Version	Supported	Description
3.0	✅	legacy RaBe environment
7.0	✅	stable LTS
8.0		upcoming LTS

OS Version Support

Our Zabbix 3.0 template mainly template EL7 installations based on CentOS 7. The 7.0+ templates aim to support both EL7 as well as EL9, with EL7 on a best effort case (e.g. we don't workaround the lack of timedatectl show on old distros, their timedatectl stays unmonitored).
