* Zabbix agent autoinstallation and autoconfiguration suitable to use in puppet or another tool
|
||||
* OS packaging support
|
||||
* Zabbix API support
|
||||
* Zabbix host autoregistration automation
|
||||
* Zabbix sender and agent glue (send results of agent checks to zabbix sender)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## How it works
|
||||
Zaf installer will do most of actions needed to monitor some specific plugin items. Configuration of plugin is very simple and text readable. Anybody can write its own plugin or make its plugin "zafable". It is enough to create *control.zaf" file. For example, look into https://github.com/limosek/zaf-plugins repository. This is default repository for zaf.

||||
## I want to make my own plugin!
|
||||
Great! Look into https://github.com/limosek/zaf-plugins repository, look to control files and try to create your own. It is easy! You can contact me for help.
|
||||
|
||||
## I want to help with zaf!
|
||||
Great! I have no time for testing on systems and writing system specific hacks. Next to this, templates should be optimized and tested for basic plugins.

||||

||||
## I love this tool

OK, great, if you love this tool, you can support new development on paypal account *lukas@macura.cz* or Bitcoin address **19Wbr729vei35gUQLcH2ZJGKb8oTVLz44K**.

Installer will try to autoguess suitable config options for your system.
|
||||
Now everything was tested on Debian and OpenWrt. If somebody is interrested in, you can help and test with some rpm specific functions. Remember that on some systems, default zabbix agent config is empty so you *need to* enter essential config options as parameters.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example
|
||||
Suppose you want to autoinstall agent on clean system. You need only curl installed. Everything else is one-cmd process.
|
||||
This command will install zaf, install zabbix-agent if necessary and sets zabbix variables on agent to reach server. This command can be automatized by puppet or another deploying system.

During plugin installation, zaf will check all dependencies, do install binaries and generates apropriate zabbix.conf.d entries. Look into https://github.com/limosek/zaf-plugins repository for more examples.

## Zaf utility
|
||||
Zaf binary can be installed on any system from openwrt to big system. It has minimal dependencies and is shell based. Is has minimal size (up to 50kb of code). It can be used for installing, removing and testing zaf plugin items. Zaf should be run as root.
