[Zabbix-users] Aggregated tests (somehow)

[Roy S. K. <ro...@ka...>]

Hi all

My boss has a vision of sorts. He wants a rating showing him the current condition of our servers and their services as a whole. He told us he wanted a very simplified "green, yellow or red light", but I guess a numeric scale (1-5 or so) might be better. With a raspberry pi and some LEDs (and drivers), it shouldn't be too hard to even have physical displays showing this.

I'm looking at 'services' and it seems to be somewhat what I'm looking for, but I don't understand how I can aggregate a bunch of tests for a varying bunch of hosts and their services. We currently have around 300 servers, somewhat 60/40 linux/windows, and new ones pop up as old ones no longer in use are discarded quite regularly.

So I guess what I'm looking for, is just something like "please give me a list of hosts in hostgroups x,y with severity > n" and then feed that to a service (formerly IT service). I've worked with zabbix for a while now, but mostly for testing and with a small initial setup of 65ish servers and 10ish switches/upses etc.

So - please help if you have an idea or have done something similar.

Vennlig hilsen

roy
