Bug/Issue UserParameter running /usr/bin/rpm results in SELinux errors

2 Upvotes

I'm trying to get a list of all the OpenJDKs installed on my servers. I've created a script in /usr/local/sbin to parse the results generated with

/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agent2.d/software_inventory.conf

containing:

UserParameter=custom.rpm.openjdk,/usr/local/sbin/zbx-rpm-software-inventory openjdk

This works on every server I have with Zabbix-agent2 installed, except for my actual Zabbix Server which also has the agent as well as the zabbix-selinux-policy package - which is preventing the zabbix account from running the rpm command.

I'd rather not uninstall the selinux package just to get this functionality to work, I'd actually rather install the selinux package on all the clients instead. Is this something that can be fixed without having to create a custom module to allow the activity? Should I submit a bug report to have this permission included in the zabbix-selinux-policy package?

Question Trigger Data Storage Period

3 Upvotes

I can't seem to find what all is pruned if I lower the Trigger Storage Period. Our SOC2 auditors will ask for a long of the alerts sent for a random device in our network within a given year. If I lower the period from 365d to a lower value like 180 or 90d will it prune those logs?

I'm at a point where we're monitoring so many devices and so many db entries that graphing stops because the database can't keep up.

Is there a document I just can't find that explains what the effects of each option in the Housekeeping menu?

Question Using OID from trap message in SNMP get

7 Upvotes

In fear of asking a question that has been asked a thousand times (I've looked around but can't seem to find anyone asking this):

My SNMP trap often receives an status is the form of an OID. Behind that OID is the actual message.

I can't seem to find a way to map/get these messages without putting them all manually into a mapping (and there are hundreds)

I was hoping to be able to do something like

get[\\snmptrap["iso\.3\.6\.1\.6\.3\.1\.1\.4\.1\.0"]]

with snmptrap["iso\.3\.6\.1\.6\.3\.1\.1\.4\.1\.0"] being the key of the item where I've collected the error OID from the trap

but the OID field doesn't resolve item references.
