Scripts checks oracle database's parameters and send data to zabbix server.

Primary LanguagePython

Description

WARNING Breacking changes:

  • Scripts updated from python2 to python3.

  • Changed settings file: added support sections for multiple oracle SIDs. (configparser)

  • Zabbix template updated from 3.2 version to 4.4 and added {$ORAPORT} macros.

Oracle database monitoring through Zabbix.

Based on https://github.com/bicofino/Pyora

Scripts checks database's parameters and send data to zabbix server.

  • pyora-discovery.py performs discovery databases asm volumes, tablespaces and users.

  • pyora-items-list.py gets items list from zabbix server that will be checked and creates item list file.

  • pyora-active.py performs requests to oracle database and sends report to zabbix server.

  • pyora_settings.ini contains zabbix login and password to oracle database. Its included in scripts.

In script pyora-active.py you can add your own checks. And work in active mode does not limit them to execution time.

Installation

  1. Create Oracle user for Pyora usage

CREATE USER ZABBIX IDENTIFIED BY 'REPLACE WITH PASSWORD' DEFAULT TABLESPACE SYSTEM TEMPORARY TABLESPACE TEMP PROFILE DEFAULT ACCOUNT UNLOCK;
GRANT CONNECT TO ZABBIX;
GRANT RESOURCE TO ZABBIX;
ALTER USER ZABBIX DEFAULT ROLE ALL;
GRANT SELECT ANY TABLE TO ZABBIX;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO ZABBIX;
GRANT UNLIMITED TABLESPACE TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ANY DICTIONARY TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$SESSION TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$SYSTEM_EVENT TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$EVENT_NAME TO ZABBIX;
GRANT SELECT ON V_$RECOVERY_FILE_DEST TO ZABBIX;

  1. Create zabbix api user in web-interface with read permissions on group, where databases hosts will be.

  2. Install on the host from which the checks will be performed:

    a. oracle instantclient

    b. https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cx_Oracle

    c. https://github.com/blacked/py-zabbix

    d. zabbix agent

  3. Copy externalscripts/* to /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/

  4. Set scripts mode bits:


chmod 755 /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/pyora-active.py /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/pyora-discovery.py /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/pyora-items-list.py

  1. Edit /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/pyora_settings.ini

  2. Copy zabbix_agentd.d/oracle_pyora.conf to /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/ and restart zabbix agent.

  3. Create directory which will be contains items list for every database.


mkdir /usr/lib/zabbix/cache
chown zabbix:zabbix /usr/lib/zabbix/cache

  1. Import to zabbix "Template Pyora active send".

  2. Create via zabbix web interface host, from which the checks will be performed.

Fill macros:

* {$ADDRESS} - address oracle database	
* {$DATABASE} - databases SID
* {$ORAPORT} - oracle port
* {$ZABBIXURL} - zabbix api URL, like "http://zabbix.net.local" (needed for pyora-items-list.py script)
* {$ZABBIXUSER} - zabbix api user
* {$ZABBIXPASSWORD} - zabbix api password
* {$ASMHIGH} - warn level for asm volume fill in percents
* {$HIGH} - warn level for tablespace fill in percents

Link "Template Pyora active send" to this host.

  1. Create cron job with databases parameters, like:

*/10 * * * * zabbix /usr/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/pyora-active.py  --address database_address --database database_SID
  1. Configure needed template and hosts items

Usage and tests


# Show the tablespaces names in a JSON format
pyora-discovery.py --address db_address --database db_SID show_tablespaces

# Create items list for database "SID" with address "10.0.0.1". Zabbix host "SID on db_host" and zabbix API user/password: DBmonitor/pass
pyora-items-list.py  --zabbixurl http://zabbix.net.local --zabbixuser "DBmonitor" --zabbixpassword "pass" --hostname "SID on db_host" --address "10.0.0.1" --database "SID"


# pyora-active.py -h
pyora-active.py [-h] --address ADDRESS --database DATABASE
                       [--username USERNAME] [--password PASSWORD]
                       [--port PORT] [--ora1000] [--verbose]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help           show this help message and exit
  --address ADDRESS    Oracle database address
  --database DATABASE  Oracle database SID
  --username USERNAME  Oracle database user
  --password PASSWORD  Oracle database user's password
  --port PORT          Oracle database port
  --ora1000            recconnect to Oracle database when request tablespace's
                       size (bug 17897511)
  --verbose, -v        Additional verbose information


# Perform checks by items list and print additional verbose information for every check
