What is the Zabbix StackPack?

The Zabbix StackPack is used to create a near real time synchronization with your Zabbix instance.

Prerequisites

The following prerequisites need to be met:

• ​StackState Agent V2 must be installed on a single machine which can connect to Zabbix and StackState.

• A Zabbix instance must be running.

NOTE: Zabbix versions 3 and 4 are supported.

Enable Zabbix integration

To enable the Zabbix check and begin collecting data from your Zabbix instance:

1. Edit the Agent integration configuration file /etc/sts-agent/conf.d/zabbix.d/conf.yaml to include details of your Zabbix instance:

   • url

   • username

   • password - use secrets management to store passwords outside of the configuration file.

     # Section used for global Zabbix check config
     init_config:
     ​
     instances:
     # mandatory
     - url: <url> # http://10.0.0.1/zabbix/api_jsonrpc.php
     ​
       # Read-only credentials to connect to zabbix
       # mandatory
       username: <username> # Admin
       password: <password> # zabbix

2. ​Restart the StackState Agent(s) to publish the configuration changes.

3. Once the Agent is restarted, wait for the Agent to collect the data and send it to StackState.
