8 בדיקות פנימיות

סקירה כללית

בדיקות פנימיות מאפשרות לעקוב אחר התהליכים הפנימיים של Zabbix. ב במילים אחרות, אתה יכול לעקוב אחר מה שקורה עם שרת Zabbix או Zabbix פרוקסי.

המחאות הפנימיות מחושבות:

• בשרת Zabbix - אם המארח מנוטר על ידי שרת
• ב-Proxy Zabbix - אם המארח מנוטר על ידי פרוקסי

Supported checks

The item keys are listed without optional parameters and additional information. Click on the item key to see the full details.

Item key details

• Parameters without angle brackets are constants - for example, 'host' and 'available' in zabbix[host,<type>,available]. Use them in the item key as is.
• Values for items and item parameters that are "not supported on proxy" can only be retrieved if the host is monitored by server. And vice versa, values "not supported on server" can only be retrieved if the host is monitored by proxy.

zabbix[boottime]

Return value: Integer.

zabbix[cluster,discovery,nodes]

Discovers the high availability cluster nodes.
Return value: JSON object.

zabbix[process,<type>,<mode>,<state>]

The percentage of time a particular Zabbix process or a group of processes (identified by <type> and <mode>) spent in <state>. It is calculated for the last minute only.
Return value: Float.

Parameters:

• type - for server processes: alert manager, alert syncer, alerter, availability manager, configuration syncer, connector manager, connector worker, discoverer, escalator, history poller, history syncer, housekeeper, http poller, icmp pinger, ipmi manager, ipmi poller, java poller, lld manager, lld worker, odbc poller, poller, preprocessing manager, preprocessing worker, proxy poller, self-monitoring, snmp trapper, task manager, timer, trapper, unreachable poller, vmware collector;
  for proxy processes: availability manager, configuration syncer, data sender, discoverer, history syncer, housekeeper, http poller, icmp pinger, ipmi manager, ipmi poller, java poller, odbc poller, poller, preprocessing manager, preprocessing worker, self-monitoring, snmp trapper, task manager, trapper, unreachable poller, vmware collector
• mode - avg - average value for all processes of a given type (default)
  count - returns number of forks for a given process type, <state> should not be specified
  max - maximum value
  min - minimum value
  <process number> - process number (between 1 and the number of pre-forked instances). For example, if 4 trappers are running, the value is between 1 and 4.
• state - busy - process is in busy state, for example, the processing request (default); idle - process is in idle state doing nothing.

Comments:

• If <mode> is a Zabbix process number that is not running (for example, with 5 pollers running the <mode> is specified to be 6), such an item will turn unsupported;
• Minimum and maximum refers to the usage percentage for a single process. So if in a group of 3 pollers usage percentages per process were 2, 18 and 66, min would return 2 and max would return 66.
• Processes report what they are doing in shared memory and the self-monitoring process summarizes that data each second. State changes (busy/idle) are registered upon change - thus a process that becomes busy registers as such and doesn't change or update the state until it becomes idle. This ensures that even fully hung processes will be correctly registered as 100% busy.
• Currently, "busy" means "not sleeping", but in the future additional states might be introduced - waiting for locks, performing database queries, etc.
• On Linux and most other systems, resolution is 1/100 of a second.

Examples:

zabbix[process,poller,avg,busy] #the average time of poller processes spent doing something during the last minute
       zabbix[process,"icmp pinger",max,busy] #the maximum time spent doing something by any ICMP pinger process during the last minute
       zabbix[process,"history syncer",2,busy] #the time spent doing something by history syncer number 2 during the last minute
       zabbix[process,trapper,count] #the amount of currently running trapper processes

Comments:

• Specifying <cache> is mandatory. The trend cache parameter is not supported with Zabbix proxy.
• The history cache is used to store item values. A low number indicates performance problems on the database side.
• The history index cache is used to index the values stored in the history cache;
• The trend cache stores the aggregate for the current hour for all items that receive data;
• You may use the zabbix[wcache,values] key with the Change per second preprocessing step in order to get values-per-second statistics.
