        During the Zabbix, Auto Discovery (Network Discovery & Low Level discovery) is a monitoring Operation tool . Configure a discovery rule to bring all machines into the monitoring. This ability to automate can kill a large surveillance system in seconds. So is this automated capability sufficient, or is it not suitable for all scenarios? In Oneoaas's view, not all can be satisfied, ( .

Well, the reader may have to ask. Is it mainly based on monitoring system, or CMDB? Oneoaas The suggestion is that, in the case of small scale, business environment is not complex, can be based on monitoring system, but large scale, change faster, must be based on the CMDB.

When the Zabbix monitoring is added for the first time, the role of the device is often not immediately defined, or the purpose of the device is not fully partitioned and the business is not yet operational. So, even if there is an automatic discovery at this time, it is also upsets. Or the use of machines today, for tomorrow's purposes,Zabbix Maintenance is really a headache ( flop, are you tired of it? ), and for that reason, there are someClient Proactive PushData-based monitoring system. That is, the server does not care about any configuration of the customer, and the data is written in. Furthermore, addTag tagTo automatically update the purpose (role) of the device. At this time the monitoring system, in the use of large-scale environment, has surpassed the Zabbix, to solve the pain point of this user. However, the monitoring function of this system may not be as strong as Zabbix (after all, the ability to provide agent, SNMP, IPMI, JMX, WEB, SSH, TELNET, extended monitoring scripts, and customizable open source monitoring system is really not a lot）。 AlthoughZabbix 3.2 also introduces the technology of tag, but to achieve this effect, there is still a certain distance to go.

Having said so much, when can the CMDB be used?

At present, an orderly IT organization, must need a unified asset management platform, all systems, the CMDB as the core , such as the machine on-line, then automatically registered to the CMDB, business changes, automatic registration to the CMDB, role change, downtime maintenance, but also change the CMDB, At this time, the monitoring system only need to maintain the corresponding rules, can let the self-control of the monitoring to add, so as to compensate for the lack of accurate active scanning defects. At the same time, flexibility is greatly enhanced. Only through the CMDB to obtain information and status of the device, and then actively update the monitoring system, and to correct the previously added, but inaccurate information monitoring.

      Such a process, .

      I believe that friends who use Zabbix feel deeply, monitoring system maintenance, is a manual work, but also a technical work (please raise your hand) . Maintenance for a long time, even through the API to write some scripts, to achieve some of the functions of automation. But is still a relatively tired of things, especially the company personnel, many groups at the same time to maintain a set of Zabbix monitoring system, communication and coordination problems, resulting in a monitoring system in the dead corner, the information is not transparent, resulting in the monitoring changes are not timely. The amount of maintenance is huge, and most companies won't let you specialize in the maintenance of Zabbix, but also work on other business values.

After all this, you will feel how happy it is to have a CMDB ( happiness is the pursuit of every engineer, to be ashamed of the manual operation ).

However, the construction of the CMDB is not smooth sailing (the risk factor is very high, please think twice ).

      First, the CMDB is an asset management system, he needs to collect all the assets of the equipment information, second, he needs to cycle the update data information, manual operation, unavoidable omission, automatic operation, and will be caught in the embarrassing situation of Zabbix automatic discovery. In addition, the CMDB is an organization of personnel collaboration and it asset turnover, life cycle management. From the device's upper and lower shelves to maintenance, the entire life cycle needs to be reflected in the CMDB, So do not look at the CMDB is a change and deletion of the DB, in fact, is often not as simple as you think () .

      So, a lot of students said to build a CMDB, many companies have done so, but the actual effect? I'm afraid not all of them are built very well, their own wheels, with tears to use. .

     

      ? Open source, Itdb,itop,cmdbuild,ralph, etc., commercial BMC, Zhuohao, etc. When you use the open source CMDB, I'm afraid I don't want to use it anymore. That's not so hard to use. The commercial CMDB, mature and perfect, but the general customization is not too flexible. Then, you might end up choosing a self-built CMDB, back in the loop that you started with.

      General CMDB system, it's a great effort to build CI (configuration management items, i.e. resources) and automated modeling, but it's not really good, it's hard to say. Is it really going to solve your problem? , this is not good to say . For example, to achieve the effect of the combination of the front and Zabbix, I am afraid you have to build a link between the wheel to be very good use.

The implementation of the CMDB, generally need to support from the leadership, and unswervingly promote the continuation, otherwise, the CMDB is a difficult thing to do. Because, no one wants to go to the CMDB to update the data (this is an open secret). and to use the data, the CMDB is not necessarily there, so the maintenance of the CMDB's work is an unpleasant one.

    for the time being, that the user really wants.

    In general, to make Zabbix use better, you need to combine the CMDB and some automation tools. If one day, Zabbix and these tools better integration, then maintenance Zabbix life, will be much easier. Of course, Oneoaas from the official understanding, Zabbix did not have these plans. So, for the moment, we can only build wheels for ourselves.   or one day, let Oneoaas build wheels for you. 650) this.width=650; "Src=" http://mmbiz.qpic.cn/mmbiz_png/ 195lknf3rvqy7rft9p124rtzq2f3opo3b7n0dvtydojulzmnpyzma72z3uzzp5dgx9w3lvxdlifd3nxhhfeteg/640?wx_fmt=png&tp= Webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy=1 "style=" Margin:0px;padding:0px;height:auto;width:auto; "alt=" 640?wx_fmt=png& Tp=webp&wxfrom=5&wx_lazy= "/>
