Zabbix Kubernetes Discovery

Introduction

Kubernetes monitoring for Zabbix with discovery objects:

• Nodes
• DaemonSets
• Deployments
• StatefulSets
• Cronjobs
• PersistentVolumeClaims
• SystemPods

Works with 2 variables only by default:

• ZABBIX_ENDPOINT: Zabbix server/proxy where the datas will be sent
• KUBERNETES_NAME: Name of your Kubernetes cluster on Zabbix (host)

Helm

Before installation, you need to create zabbix-monitoring namespace in your cluster:

$ kubectl create namespace zabbix-monitoring

All Helm options/parameters are available in the Helm folder here.

Install from local

To install the chart with the release name zabbix-kubernetes-discovery from local Helm templates:

$ helm upgrade --install zabbix-kubernetes-discovery \
    ./helm/zabbix-kubernetes-discovery/ \
    --values ./helm/zabbix-kubernetes-discovery/values.yaml \
    --namespace zabbix-monitoring \
    --set namespace.name="zabbix-monitoring" \
    --set environment.ZABBIX_ENDPOINT="zabbix-proxy.example.com" \
    --set environment.KUBERNETES_NAME="kubernetes-cluster-example"

Install from repo

To install the chart with the release name zabbix-kubernetes-discovery from my Helm repository:

$ helm repo add djerfy https://djerfy.github.io/helm-charts
$ helm upgrade --install zabbix-kubernetes-discovery \
    djerfy/zabbix-kubernetes-discovery \
    --namespace zabbix-monitoring
    --set namespace.name="zabbix-monitoring" \
    --set environment.ZABBIX_ENDPOINT="zabbix-proxy.example.com" \
    --set environment.KUBERNETES_NAME="kubernetes-cluster-name"

Uninstall

To uninstall/delete the zabbix-kubernetes-discovery deployment:

$ helm list -n zabbix-monitoring
$ helm delete -n zabbix-monitoring zabbix-kubernetes-discovery

The command removes all the Kubernetes components associated with the chart and deletes the release.
