Zabbix API offers us a lot of power and possibilities. We will talk about automation and integrations at scale, at Globo.com. Automating gives us power to clone instances of Zabbix, perform batch operations, manage MANY networks for discovery and more. We will present our layer of abstraction to API, democratizing API access, offering a nice UI and standards for every new service monitored and few cached responses. Also, we will show how we have integrated with CloudStack, to deliver automated private cloud monitoring into Zabbix.

9. How it should be

10. … and how it is

11. Integrations

12. Automation
‣ Automation scripts
‣ management of networks for discovery
‣ instance cloning
‣ batch operations
‣ democratize access to API

13. Gbix + confapi
‣ Layer of abstraction of API
‣ Simplify calls to users and systems
‣ Enforce standards to general monitoring

14. Gbix + confapi
‣ Increase speed, using cache*
‣ Automated documentation generating
‣ Based on native API
‣ “Automagicaly" load methods on the UI

16. Cloud
‣ Monitoring cloud:
‣ Zabbix (2.4+) integrates withVMWare
‣ … but we use Cloudstack

17. Cloudmon
‣ Detect targetVM’s using Cloudstack tags
‣ not allVM’s need to be monitored
‣ Create host groups
‣ ease visualization of projects, serviçes, …

18. Cloudmon

19. Cloudmon
‣ Infra of Cloustack
‣ systemVM’s
‣ virtual router
