pg_monz

The module installs and configures pg_monz monitoring Zabbix template.

The complete tutorial can be found at Puppet, Zabbix, PostgreSQL and pgpool-II Together - pg_monz Module.

Server Side

At the server side (at Zabbix server), the module only installs the following Zabbix templates:

• Template App PostgreSQL
• Template App PostgreSQL SR
• Template App PostgreSQL SR Cluster
• Template App pgpool-II
• Template App pgpool-II watchdog

Note: Although all the templates are installed, which will be used for a particular client depends on the client's configuration. See Creating Host section in the original documentation.

Server Side Requirements

The module requires 'zabbix' class at the server side. See puppet/zabbix module at puppet forge).

pg_monz Server Side Example

class { 'pg_monz::server': }

Note: The class will automatically install the templates only if you're using puppet/zabbix module with manage_resources set to true. For details check Puppet, Zabbix, PostgreSQL and pgpool-II Together - pg_monz Module.

Client Side

At the client side (monitored PostgreSQL / pgpool-II server) the module installs pg_monz scripts and configuration files.

Client Side Requirements

The module requires 'zabbix-agent' and 'zabbix-sender' classes at the client side. Again, see puppet/zabbix module at puppet forge).

pg_monz Client Side Examples

Basic example (with default values) is pretty simple:

class { 'pg_monz': }

In reality however, chances are that you'll have to specify some parameters. An example with parameters that are often different than default values:

class { 'pg_monz':
  pgrolepassword => 'my_postgres_password', 
  pgpoolconf     => '/etc/pgpool2/3.5.2/pgpool.conf', 
  pglogfile      => 'postgresql-9.4-main.log', 
}
