Specifying the Zabbix server

To specify the Zabbix server:

  1. In the menu, go to the System section.

    By default, the Monitoring tab is selected, which displays the Zabbix server connection settings.

  2. Select the Monitoring tab.

    The settings for connecting to the Zabbix server are displayed.

  3. In the URL field, enter the URL of the Zabbix API. The orchestrator sends HTTP requests to the specified URL to receive monitoring results and display then as charts.

    The URL consists of the address of the Zabbix web interface and the api_jsonrpc.php file name, which is used for API calls. For example, if the Zabbix web interface is located at http://192.168.2.1, enter http://192.168.2.1/api_jsonrpc.php.

  4. In the Username field, enter the user name for connecting the orchestrator to the Zabbix API. You must enter the user name of an account that has read and write permissions to groups on the Zabbix server, as well as permission to create groups.
  5. In the Password field, enter the password for connecting to the Zabbix API.
  6. In the Grouping by Zabbix drop-down list, select a method for grouping CPE device hosts, as well as virtual network functions and physical network functions on the Zabbix server:
    • By specified groups to place hosts of CPE devices, virtual network functions, and physical network functions into the specified groups. If you select this option, do the following:
      1. In the VNF/PNF group field, enter a group name for the hosts of virtual network functions and physical network functions.
      2. In the CPE group field, enter a group name for CPE device hosts.
    • By tenant to place hosts of CPE devices, virtual network functions, and physical network functions into automatically created groups. Groups correspond to tenants to which the CPE devices are added, and virtual network functions and physical network functions are assigned.
  7. In the Triggers synchronization (sec.) field, enter the interval in seconds for receiving notifications about problems from the Zabbix server on the orchestrator. Range of values: 5 to 600. Default value: 600.
  8. Below the Token field, click Generate to generate a token that API requests from the Zabbix server to the orchestrator must contain. If an API request does not contain the token, the orchestrator does not accept such an API request. Security is also protected by TLS certificates.

    You can enter the token manually or view it by clicking the view icon .

  9. If you want to check the availability of the Zabbix server, click Test connection.
  10. Click Apply.

The Zabbix server is specified.
