zabbix-ovirt's Introduction

zabbix-ovirt

This is a template which can be used to monitor oVirt or libvirt virtualization hosts from within Zabbix.

The template was exported from Zabbix version 2.4.3 Tested with oVirt version 3.5.0.1 release 1.el6, libvirt version 0.10.2 release 46.el6_6.2 on CentOS 6.6

How to use:

Enable SNMP on the oVirt or libvirt host

give direct access to libvirt for root (disabled by default for oVirt)
install and configure basic SNMP
install libvirt-snmp
create init-script or systemd service for libvirt-snmp
start and test the service

see my detailed blogpost for instructions on how to enable SNMP for oVirt or libvirt: Monitor oVirt or libvirt with SNMP and Zabbix

Create a new value mapping in Zabbix:

On the Zabbix-server, go to: Afministration -> General -> Value Mapping (upper right corner)
Create value map
name: libvirt guest state
mappings:

1 -> running
2 -> blocked
3 -> paused
4 -> shutdown
5 -> shutoff
6 -> crashed

Import the template in Zabbix:

On the Zabbix-server, go to Configuration - Templates
click on Import
choose the file and click on Import

Add your oVirt or libvirt hosts to Zabbix:

On the Zabbix-server, go to Configuration - Hosts

On the templates tab:
