Installation

Notice

Before manual installation you should check Include option in your zabbix-agent configuration, it should be uncomment and check that include path are the same with this installation rule - https://github.com/zarplata/zabbix-agent-extension-elasticsearch/blob/master/Makefile#L54 otherwise you should change it to your include path.

After installation you should restart your zabbix-agent manually for inclusion new UserParameter from extension configuration.

git clone https://github.com/zarplata/zabbix-agent-extension-elasticsearch.git
cd zabbix-agent-extension-elasticsearch
make

#Installing
make install

# By default, binary installs into /usr/bin/ and zabbix config in /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/ but,
# you may manually copy binary to your executable path and zabbix config to specific include directory

Arch Linux package

# Building
git clone https://github.com/zarplata/zabbix-agent-extension-elasticsearch.git
git checkout pkgbuild

./build.sh

#Installing
pacman -U *.tar.xz

Dependencies

zabbix-agent-extension-elasticsearch requires zabbix-agent v2.4+ to run.

Zabbix configuration

In order to start getting metrics, it is enough to import template and attach it to monitored node.

WARNING: You must define macro with name - {$ZABBIX_SERVER_IP} in global or local (template) scope with IP address of zabbix server.

On one node of cluster set MACRO {$GROUPNAME} = REAL_ZABBIX_GROUP. This group must include all nodes of the cluster. Only this one node will be triggered cluster status (low level discovery added aggregate checks of cluster health).

Customize key prefix

It may you need if key in template already used.

If you need change key elasticsearch.* -> YOUR_PREFIX_PART.elasticsearch.*, run script custom_key_template.sh whit YOUR_PREFIX_PART and import updated zabbix template template_elasticsearch_service.xml.

./custom_key_template.sh YOUR_PREFIX_PART

Elasticsearch API authentication (X-Pack security)

This extension support basic authentication which provided by X-Pack. For authentication in Elasticsearch you must set valid values in template macros - ${ES_USER} and ${ES_PASSWORD}

Customize Elasticsearch address.

You can customize you Elasticsearch listen address. Just change{$ES_ADDRESS} macros in template. Possible values are - (http|https)://host:port

Be note if you choose https and have self-signed certificate you also should add path to you CA in marcos {$CA_PATH}
