Linux kernel internals monitoring with Zabbix

libzbxlinux

This project provides comprehensive monitoring of the Linux kernel using a natively compiled Zabbix agent module, written in C.

A preconfigured Zabbix Template is also included for your convenience.

Sources in this project are used to compile libzbxlinux.so which may be loaded by a Zabbix agent using the LoadModule directive.

WARNING This project is not yet stable and subject to frequent breaking changes.

Installation

To compile the agent module the following items are required:

  • GNU build tools (make, gcc, autoconf, automake, libtool, m4, etc.)
  • Zabbix sources

If you are building from sources cloned from GitHub, you first need to regenerate the build scripts using ./autogen.sh. Otherwise:

./configure --with-zabbix=/usr/src/zabbix/include
make
make install

Module file libzbxlinux.so will then be installed in /usr/local/lib.
