Compatibility

This add-on is compatible with OpenNebula 4.6+

Requirements

OpenNebula Front-end Server

• Installed xmlstarlet package.
• Installed and configured zabbix-agent.

Limitations

Common values of all resources is gathering by default. Discovery resources is not supported for now, but you can specify it manually.

Installation

For install or update agent script on OpenNebula server execute:

curl -o /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/opennebula_zabbix.conf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opennebula/addon-zabbix/master/opennebula_zabbix.conf
curl --create-dirs -o /usr/libexec/zabbix-extensions/scripts/one.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/opennebula/addon-zabbix/master/one.sh
chmod +x /usr/libexec/zabbix-extensions/scripts/one.sh
systemctl restart zabbix-agent

Also the authentification file is required, you can use oneadmin account here:

mkdir -p /var/lib/zabbix/.one/
cp /var/lib/one/.one/one_auth /var/lib/zabbix/.one/one_auth
chown -R zabbix:zabbix /var/lib/zabbix

You can check agent configuration. Just run this command on Zabbix server:

zabbix_get -s <your_server> -k one.collect[host]

• If you see 0 - everything is fine.
• If you see 1 - something wrong. Please check: User zabbix should have opportunity for run onehost/onevm commands.

Configuration

Configuring Zabbix-Server

By default items configured for generalized information of resources. If you want to set target to specific datastores you should update items in zabbix interface.

For example:

Go to the Templates --> Template OpenNebula --> Items

If you want to monitor specufuc datastore insted all, replace items like:

one.datastore.free_space --> one.datastore.free_space[101]
one.datastore.pfree_space --> one.datastore.pfree_space[101]
one.datastore.total_space --> one.datastore.total_space[101]
one.datastore.used_space --> one.datastore.used_space[101]
one.datastore.pused_space --> one.datastore.pused_space[101]

where 101 - datastore id

If you want to monitor specufuc network for free leases insted all, replace items like:

one.vnet.free_leases --> one.vnet.free_leases[23]
one.vnet.pfree_leases --> one.vnet.pfree_leases[23]
one.vnet.total_leases --> one.vnet.total_leases[23]
one.vnet.used_leases --> one.vnet.used_leases[23]
one.vnet.pused_leases --> one.vnet.pused_leases[23]

where 23 - network id

If you want monitor multiple individual resources you need to create more items and separated triggers. You can also use avg parameter if you want have average data from all resources instead common.

Usage

You need to attach template to your OpenNebula host in Zabbix server. After that you will have custom metrics and graphics.

Tuning & Extending

You can create custom items and triggers, open one.sh file, for check which parameters is supported.

Todo list

These features is not yet implemented, but it would be nice to have it. You can help, and contribute to the project, if you want.

• Discovery Rules (Datastores, VNets, Hosts, VMs, Users and Groups)
• Single VM resources usage monitoring.
• User quotas usage monitoring.
• Group quotas usage monitoring.
• Separated clusters resources usage monitoring.

Optimizations

Agent script already use caching when retrieves information from oned daemon. No specufic configuration is needed.
