An external Zabbix monitoring system is used for monitoring of CPE devices, as well as virtual and physical network functions. You must deploy a Zabbix server on one of your locations, or connect an existing Zabbix server, and deploy Zabbix proxy servers.
Zabbix proxy servers are used for receiving monitoring results at individual locations and sending these results to the Zabbix server. The Zabbix server processes the monitoring results, after which they are displayed in the web interface of the orchestrator.
The orchestrator uses an API to integrate with the Zabbix server. When you register a CPE device or deploy a VNF or PNF in a network service, a corresponding host is automatically created on the Zabbix server. You can specify the groups on the Zabbix server in which hosts are to be placed. The host on the Zabbix server is automatically deleted if you delete its corresponding CPE device, VNF, or PNF.
Two monitoring methods are supported:
For details about configuring the monitoring system, see the official documentation of the Zabbix solution.
