zabbix-chef-client-handler Cookbook

This is a small simple cookbook for installing chef handler which reports chef-client run status into zabbix using zabbix_sender.

Initially it was a part of recipes collection from typo3 project chef-zabbix-custom-checks but I decided to separate it to another project in order to minimize cookbook dependencies.

Features

• You will know whether chef-client working on a node or not
• You will know whether chef-client last run was success and complete or not
• You will know whether chef-client run elapsed time was too long

• Ubuntu
• Debian
