Envoy Proxy by HTTP
Overview
The template to monitor Envoy Proxy by Zabbix that works without any external scripts. Most of the metrics are collected in one go, thanks to Zabbix bulk data collection.
Template Envoy Proxy by HTTP
- collects metrics by HTTP agent from metrics endpoint {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH} endpoint (default: /stats/prometheus).
Requirements
Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.
Tested versions
This template has been tested on:
- Envoy Proxy 1.20.2
Configuration
Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.
Setup
Internal service metrics are collected from {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH} endpoint (default: /stats/prometheus). https://www.envoyproxy.io/docs/envoy/v1.20.0/operations/stats_overview
Don't forget to change macros {$ENVOY.URL}, {$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH}. Also, see the Macros section for a list of macros used to set trigger values.
NOTE. Some metrics may not be collected depending on your Envoy Proxy instance version and configuration.
Macros used
Name | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
{$ENVOY.URL} | Instance URL. |

{$ENVOY.METRICS.PATH} | The path Zabbix will scrape metrics in prometheus format from. |
