Hello all, If you used Pyora in the past, today I made some updates. Now it supports Python3 and the template was also updated to work with Zabbix 5.0, the 5.0 template is zabbix-template/Pyora.xml More info: https://github.com/danilochilene/Pyora
CentOS 6.5 ships with kernel 2.6 and it’s a quite old for now(CentOS 7 already comes with 3.10), but compile a kernel on CentOS is a mess and it’s not recommended. But fear no more, guys from Elrepo took care of that for us and made a package, let’s see how we can install it. Enable ELRepo Project repository rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org rpm -Uvh http://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-6-6.el6.elrepo.noarch.rpm Install the kernel yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-lt Configure grub You also need edit /etc/grub....
Import the key [root@ambush ~]# rpm --import http://ftp.riken.jp/Linux/fedora/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6 Download the Epel package and install it [root@ambush ~]# wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm [root@ambush ~]# rpm -ivh epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:epel-release ########################################### [100%] [root@ambush ~]# Now you can install packages from the EPEL repository.
In the past I used Zabora to monitor Oracle, but for large environments was a pain to admin and let’s not talk about monitor tons of tablespaces. I tried to use other things like Orabbix but since is Java I preferred stay away. Today Zabbix have some nice improvements like macros and Discovery, so we can set the database settings(user,password,database and such) on the host using macros and not hard code it on a script that you have to access a server to change it....
