Works in Zabbix 2.4.8

Fantastic daemon! 👏 I got it working with our web front ends running Ubuntu 16.04 using a Zabbix 2.4.8 server. Happy to post more details, if needed.

Great news. Sure, if you have any feedback or information on the steps it takes, go ahead. It could be useful to include this procedure, along with any gotchas, on the wiki or even in an additional readme-type file.

Install on Ubuntu 16.04:

sudo apt-get install zabbix-sender
sudo npm install -g pm2-zabbix
# test: pm2-zabbix --discover
# run interactively:  pm2-zabbix --monitor

This installed as /usr/bin/pm2-zabbix -- not /usr/local/bin/pm2-zabbix as in the examples. Also, the user is ubuntu -- not debian. So configure for systemd:

# swap debian for ubuntu and remove local from path
wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greatcare/pm2-zabbix/master/install/init/systemd/pm2-zabbix.service | sed 's/\/local//' | sed 's/debian/ubuntu/' | sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/pm2-zabbix.service

Edit sudoers as per #1, adding:

zabbix  ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/pm2-zabbix

sudo systemctl enable pm2-zabbix
sudo systemctl start pm2-zabbix
# stop:  sudo systemctl stop pm2-zabbix
# restart:  sudo systemctl restart pm2-zabbix

Add the UserParameter to Zabbix agent and restart:

wget -qO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/greatcare/pm2-zabbix/master/install/zabbix-agent/pm2-zabbix.conf | sed s/debian/ubuntu/ | sudo tee /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.d/pm2-zabbix.conf

sudo systemctl restart zabbix-agent

Here is my template Template App PM2 as exported from Zabbix 2.4.8. It's still work in progress -- but the Item prototypes work, I'm still tweaking/testing the Trigger prototypes.

Thanks again!

I've posted the steps to here (and bootstrapped the wiki along the way):

Thanks for the contribution - really appreciated. Not closing the issue at the moment in case you have more insight as to the triggers.

I'll post an update in a bit when I have them dialed in.

I don't suppose the wiki is getting an improvement w.r.t. installing on Ubuntu 16.04 any time soon. Closing.
