Extreme Networks hardware monitoring extension for Zabbix plugin

Extreme Networks hardware monitoring extension plugin expands Zabbix plugin functionality by adding monitoring of incoming SNMP traps sent from Extreme Networks hardware via management network to management VIP address. It configures snmptt to parse and pass Extreme Networks specific traps to Zabbix. It also configures Zabbix by adding Template with appropriate items and triggers and by creating Hosts for each Extreme Networks hardware.

Problem description

Currently, Zabbix plugin for Fuel has no support for receiving and analyzing Extreme Networks specific SNMP traps. Extreme Networks hardware monitoring extension for Zabbix plugin aims to provide a support for it.

Proposed change

Implement a Fuel plugin that will configure snmptt and Zabbix for receiving and parsing Extreme Networks specific SNMP traps.

Alternatives

It might have been implemented as part of Zabbix plugin for Fuel but we decided to make it as a separate plugin for several reasons:

  • This isn't something that all operators may want to deploy.
  • Any new additional functionality makes the project's testing more difficult, which is an additional risk for the Zabbix plugin for Fuel release.

Implementation

The plugin configures snmptt by adding Extreme Networks specific SNMP traps definitions. It also configures Zabbix by doing following actions:

  • imports an Extreme Networks monitoring template to Zabbix
  • creates Host for each Extreme Networks hardware which will be sending SNMP traps
  • links Extreme Networks monitoring template to created Hosts

The plugin has two tasks:

  • The first task configures Zabbix.
  • The second task configures snmptt on Controller nodes.
