SNMP trap daemon for Zabbix plugin

SNMP trap daemon plugin extends Zabbix plugin functionality by adding ability to receive SNMP traps from management network and pass them to Zabbix. It installs snmptrapd daemon for receiving and snmptt for parsing and passing traps to Zabbix. This plugin do not provide any additional monitoring checks. It is a base for additional plugins which adds specific SNMP traps monitoring.

Problem description

Currently, Zabbix plugin for Fuel has no support for receiving and analyzing SNMP traps from external hardware like EMC VNX arrays or network switches. SNMP trap daemon for Zabbix plugin aims to provide a support for it.

Proposed change

Implement a Fuel plugin that will install and configure snmptrapd daemon for receiving and snmptt for parsing and passing traps to Zabbix.

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 installs and configures snmptrapd daemon using snmpd puppet module. It also installs and configures snmptt software for parsing SNMP traps and passing them to Zabbix. The plugin delivers required official packages which are not included in Mirantis OpenStack.

The plugin has one task which is run on all Controller nodes and does following actions:

  • installs and configures snmptrapd daemon
  • installs and configures snmptt
  • enables SNMPTrapper in Zabbix
