How to install and configure blackbird

What is blackbird

A python program that retrieves various data and throws it to the backend server Currently, only Zabbix Server is supported for backend throwing destination, but we plan to support various middleware in the future.

install blackbird

You can use pip or rpm. Recommendation is rpm

install with pip

Without thinking about anything

pip install blackbird

Enter with Or use setup.py to install

git clone https://github.com/Vagrants/blackbird.git
cd blackbird
python setup.py install

install with rpm

Set the yum repository as below

cat <<'_EOF_'> /etc/yum.repos.d/blackbird.repo
[blackbird]
name=Blackbird
baseurl=https://vagrants.github.io/blackbird/repo/yum/6/x86_64/
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0
_EOF_

Then install with yum Make sure you have epel available as it uses the epel package as a dependency.

yum install blackbird --enablerepo=blackbird,epel

Set up blackbird

config will be /etc/blackbird/defaults.cfg

/etc/blackbird/defaults.cfg


[global]
user = bbd
group = bbd
include  = conf.d/*.cfg
log_file = /var/log/blackbird/blackbird.log
log_level = error

If you install with rpm, you should see the above If you need to change the execution user or group, change it accordingly.

Also, set zabbix server in /etc/blackbird/conf.d/zabbix_sender.cfg.

ini:/etc/blackbird/conf.d/zabbix_sender.cfg


[zabbix]
server = 127.0.0.1
module = zabbix_sender

Please change 127.0.0.1 appropriately

Insert the blackbird plugin

Let's take blackbird-httpd as an example.

There are several ways to install the plugin

Insert manually

Clone to a suitable place and place the file

git clone https://github.com/Vagrants/blackbird-httpd.git
cd blackbird-httpd
cp httpd.py /opt/blackbitd/plugins/.
cp httpd.cfg /etc/blackbird/conf.d/.

Enter with setup.py

git clone https://github.com/Vagrants/blackbird-httpd.git
cd blackbird-httpd
python setup.py install

Enter with rpm

yum install blackbird-httpd --enablerepo=blackbird

Set plugin

Basically I think that it is explained in the ini file, but you can set some additional settings Of particular importance are ʻintervalandlld_interval`

ini:/etc/blackbird/conf.d/httpd.cfg


[httpd]
module = 'httpd'

# stub_status URI
# - support only http status code '200'
# - you must set uri value start with '/'
#
status_uri = '/server-status'
info_uri = '/server-info'
# host = '127.0.0.1'
# port = '80'
# timeout = '3'

# use ssl connection?
#
# ssl = False

# for BASIC authentication. default: Nothing
#
# user = 'nobody'

# for BASIC authentication. default: Nothing
#
# password = 'nobody'

# for response time check
# if you do not want to check, please comment out
# - support only http status code '200'
# - you must set uri value start with '/'
#
response_check_uri = '/'
# response_check_host = '127.0.0.1'
# response_check_port = '80'
# response_check_timeout = '3'
# response_check_vhost = 'localhost'
# response_check_uagent = 'blackbird response check'
# response_check_ssl = False

# httpd path
path = '/usr/sbin/httpd'

ʻIntervalis the interval to send data to Zabbix (default 60 seconds) lld_interval` is the Low Level Discovery interval (default 600 seconds) (LLD is not used in this httpd plugin) You can set these intervals for each plugin For example, if you want to acquire every 30 seconds and discover every 600 seconds, it will be as follows.

interval = 30
lld_interval = 600

Also, the host name is automatically acquired when sending with Zabbix Sender, but if the host name is different from Zabbix Server side, it can be written in cfg.

hostname = other_host_name

Start blackbird

/etc/init.d/blackbird start

If you don't have a startup script, use https://github.com/Vagrants/blackbird/blob/master/scripts/blackbird.init

Apply Template on Zabbix Server side

We publish Zabbix Template made for each plugin Please import the xml under templates of git repository of each plugin to Zabbix Server (In the case of blackbird-httpd in this example, it is located at https://github.com/Vagrants/blackbird-httpd/tree/master/templates)

If no data is sent

First, check if the server setting is correct in /etc/blackbird/conf.d/zabbix_sender.cfg Also, make sure that Zabbix Server port 10051 is open from the target server. If you have changed Zabbix Server port from 10051, please add port = <your port num> in zabbix_sender.cfg

If the hostname of the server running blackbird and the host name on Zabbix Server side are different, no data will be entered. Please modify Zabbix Server side or define hostname in plugin settings to match.
