All kstat data is collected via UserParameters but data gathered via dtrace is pumped in via zabbix-sender. I agree that reporting sticks - we have our own highchart based reporting tool that is fed from the zabbix db. Hi Ben,

I have been using both zabbix-sender and UserParameters
but am slowly migrating towards flexible UserParameters
in order to resuse as much as possible.

All kstat data is collected via UserParameters but data gathered
via dtrace is pumped in via zabbix-sender.

I agree that reporting sticks – we have our own highchart based reporting
tool that is fed from the zabbix db.

It can be really easy extended by self written dtrace scripts. It works great for me. As I understand Graphite do the same job.

I enjoyed your blog content and was wondering if you were interested in some extra exposure on our sites. Drop me a line and I can give you all the details. Thanks for your time!

I'm using Zabbix pretty extensively with an active agent configuration. Does your agent call a DTrace script from zabbix_agentd.conf UserParameters or do you use zabbix_sender? The VFS stats I record in Zabbix are all based on KStats and sent via UserParameters. I love the fact that Zabbix essentially gives you graphing for free, however the facilities for interacting with the graphs is pretty rudimentary. I've really been unpleased with the report facilities and found that many other Zabbix users have resorted to using Jasper Reports to coolese data direct from the Zabbix database rather than deal with the poor reporting capabilities.
