At the moment we only monitor printers and their queues, but not the classes.
The configuration files and scripts have to be placed in the correct directories as shown in the repository.
The locations are for Debian Wheezy with Zabbix 2.4.x installed.
-
Template_App_CUPS.xml-> Import this template on your Zabbix server and assign it to your monitored CUPS servers -
/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/cups.conf-> Place in the file on your CUPS serverno modification needed, unless you place the external script in another location. -
/usr/local/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/discover_cups_printers.pl-> The script doing the actual cups printer discovery. If you place this script in another location, you will have to change sudoers.d and the zabbix files accordingly
If you are running with selinux
enabled, the discovery script should be placed in a directory that is
configured to have zabbix_script_exec_t. You can check with the semanage
command:
$ semanage fcontext -l | grep zabbix_script_exec_t
/var/lib/zabbixsrv/.*scripts(/.*)? all files system_u:object_r:zabbix_script_exec_t:s0
$Use restorecon after copying the script, e.g.
$ cp usr/local/lib/zabbix/externalscripts/discover_cups_printers.pl /var/lib/zabbixsrv/externalscripts/.
$ ls -lZ /var/lib/zabbixsrv/externalscripts/discover_cups_printers.pl
$ restorecon /var/lib/zabbixsrv/externalscripts/discover_cups_printers.pl
$ ls -lZ /var/lib/zabbixsrv/externalscripts/discover_cups_printers.plMore information in the zabbix_script_selinux man page.
Same for the config file:
$ cp etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/cups.conf /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/.
$ ls -lZ /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/
$ restorecon /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/cups.conf
$ ls -lZ /etc/zabbix_agentd.conf.d/
