Monitoring - Zabbix Probes

The Monitoring Framework is a set of tools which allow performing several monitoring operations in the platform resulting from the INDIGO-Datacloud project (https://www.indigo-datacloud.eu/). The Monitoring Framework is based on Zabbix, as the collector of the monitoring information coming from different sources, due to its maturity, its community support and its flexibility for different environments.

The Monitoring Framework is divided in several main parts:

• The Zabbix server (with the corresponding configuration and some support scripts);

• The Zabbix wrapper, created for enabling a REST API for Zabbix;

• Several probes, with different monitoring purposes (OCCI, Heapster, etc.).

The version of the OCCI and Heapster probes provided for the INDIGO-1 release is v0.95.

Documentation is divided in three main parts:

• Deployment and Administration Guide: Describes how to install and configure correctly the probes and their main dependencies (JVM and Zabbix Agent);

• User Guide: Provides information about how to use the probes and how to find the information they generate in Zabbix;

• Developer Guide: Describes some aspects of the implementation and instructions about validation, building and packaging
