USAGE - Basic management

  • Install zabbix_agent with default settings, that is installation from OS default packages

      class { 'zabbix_agent': }
    
  • Install a specific version of zabbix_agent package.

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        version => '2.0.6',
      }
    
  • Install zabbix_agent from upstream tarball (you MUST provide a version with this option)

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        install => 'source',
        version => '2.0.6',
      }
    
  • Install zabbix_agent from upstream tarball and provide a custom template for the service's init script

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        install => 'source',
        version => '2.0.6',
        init_script_template  => 'site/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agent.init.erb',
      }
    
  • Install zabbix_agent from a custom source to a custom destination

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        install             => 'source',
        install_source      => 'http://download.example42.com/software/zabbix_agents_2.0.6.solaris10.amd64.tar.gz',
        install_destination => '/usr/local', # Default: '/opt'
      }
    
  • Install from source without creating a dedicated zabbix user

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        install     => 'source',
        version     => '2.0.6',
        create_user => false,
      }
    
  • Provide a custom class for the module's prerequisites (check if they apply to your case)

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        dependency_class => 'site::pre_zabbix_agent',
      }
    
  • Disable zabbix_agent service.

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        disable => true
      }
    
  • Remove zabbix_agent package

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        absent => true
      }
    

USAGE - Overrides and Customizations

  • Use custom sources for main config file

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        source => [ "puppet:///modules/example42/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agent.conf-${hostname}" , "puppet:///modules/example42/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agent.conf" ], 
      }
    
  • Use custom source directory for the whole configuration dir

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        source_dir       => 'puppet:///modules/example42/zabbix_agent/conf/',
        source_dir_purge => false, # Set to true to purge any existing file not present in $source_dir
      }
    
  • Use custom template for main config file. Note that template and source arguments are alternative.

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        template => 'example42/zabbix_agent/zabbix_agent.conf.erb',
      }
    
  • Automatically include a custom subclass

      class { 'zabbix_agent':
        my_class => 'example42::my_zabbix_agent',
      }
